Setup a home wifi-lan, share internet connection

Somebody asked me how to setup a wifi home network. so i thot posting here wud be a good idea. This deals wid working on Windows. Do not be afraid on looking at the length of the tutorial. i've tried to be as descriptive as possible so that you do not haf any kinda confusion. read it once mebbe twice or thrice before attempting. This tut. assumes that you wanna include a laptop and a desktop in ur home wifi network in the first part and share a net connection in the second part. i'm not discussing an ad-hoc connection here. its a normal wlan setup.

No matter how much I try to restore from the Installation Disc it jus won't go back. Reinstallation has been the only option for me.
