Networking laptop & desktop

Good afternoon!

A question about networking (think that's the correct term!) my laptop with my desktop.
You see, my desktop is connected to ADSL via the telephone socket & cable. My laptop only has a wireless card and I do not wish to invest in the kit to go wireless just now if I can help it.
Is there a method of connecting my laptop to my desktop so I can transfer files and share the broadband connection??? I recall an article I found on the internet which involved a cable with a little electronic box of tricks mid-line to enable me to do this, but not being too up on this sort of thing, I may have mis-understood it all.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
