I have laptop which is connected to internet using WIFI. I need to connect desktop to internet. Desktop doesn't have wifi card. Can I set up my laptop to act like a switch/router and connect notebook's LAN port to PC LAN port? How to make PC to connect to internet?
UPDATE There is no way to connect to wifi router directly (using cable). Only wifi access is available.
What OS? Windows? Windows 7 use Internet Connection Sharing: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/using-internet-connection-sharing#1TC=windows-7 - You may need a crossover Ethernet cable if your network adapters don't automatically notice a normal patch cable has been used.

You can do it with the tools provided by MS. Nonetheless I'd buy an inexpensive router and use it as wireless bridge instead. – Bruno9779 – 2014-07-03T12:49:00.563
Another idea: There are USB Wi-Fi adapters for ~$10 – endolith – 2017-11-01T14:38:37.443
