A wireless router would be the easiest, safest, and most reliable.

That is not possbile.. you need to to peer to peer network connection.. u need to connect that laptop using either router or P2P network cabel. and it requier enhance knowledge about networking then only u can do it.. rouuter is the best way to share internet.

Actually it is possible...using Windows built in ICS. However..a router is more reliable, and is able to protect both PCs via its NAT.

A Wireless Router would be best.

Network configured like this, http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg
