Please help me out with home networking!

[aminura]

I want to setup a network at my home..I have a laptop(centrino mobile tech) with xp and desktop again with xp and linksys wireless router.I don't have much knowledge about networking. I have configured my wireless with a static ip and dns..both my comps are able to detect the wireless and do connect to the internet ( it's ethernet -cable) but the thing is that i am not able to use the internet simultaneously on both the computers.Do i have to create my desktop first as server? I would appreciate if you could help me out with this ..
Thanks!
