Hello,
One easy way you can get all three working is :-
first install and configure your wireless router with your desktop PC with a ethernet cable so that you can access internet,
then install laptop with PCMCIA card and then make wireless connection to the router and check you are getting an IP address and able to access the internet ok,
then install usb adapter to the desktop PC and then try connecting to the router using wireless connection.
