Hi Mark, as you've been told, unless your desktop has a wireless card attached to it, you can't use the wireless gateway to connect.
You can purchase wireless cards that come in various formats, internal, and external. The internals are really simple to install, and if you're really comfortable getting into your computer, you should be able to just plop it into the socket, screw in the card, and you're good to go. External options will come in USB type cards, and Ethernet cards you can plug into those ports and connect with. By the way, the fat telephone wire you're looking for is an Ethernet/straight through cable, or straight through RJ45. The smaller telephone wires are RJ11. My brother tells me you can by the RJ45 cables at dollar stores nowadays, so they really must be common place, which impresses me to no end.
