You need to network them. Do you have a wireless router? You need to run the router software on your laptop while it's plugged into the broadband and the router, this will set up the wireless, then you can unplug the laptop and use it anywhere. And you can use the PC at the same time.

As long as its plugged in to the broadband socket then yes. Most new laptops come with wireless facilities though, so you could wireless network your house and then both of them can run from that.
