Simple Wireless Question

[Hootie Bethesda]

Although I'm no PC novice, I have no experience in
networking. I have a desktop PC and a notebook. The
notebook has a wireless card. I want to share files
between the two, and I want the notebook to be able to
access the printer(s) connected to the desktop. There are
no internet connections that need to be shared--each
computer has its own modem and dialup connection. Just
file and printer sharing. What hardware do I need for the
desktop PC?
