Laptop’s motherboard usually consists of LAN slot, just buy a LAN card for your desktop. Buy a cable and two connectors; join them through straight cable system. When you need to connect more than two PC, buy a hub or switch or any other equipment and some cables and connectors and combine them as discussed.
