With only 2 computers, you can use a cross over cable (usually yellow in colour) to connect the laptop to the desktop and then use internet connection sharing, where the laptop "passes through" the desktop using its internet connection.

I used to do this before installing my Linksys Wireless Router, and it worked fine, including printer sharing, although the desktop PC had to be powered on for the laptop to access the internet.

Cheers
