If I buy a router and buy 2 laptops with integrated wireless 802.11g Lan &
10/100 Wired Lan, does this mean I do not need to buy network cards or is
this not the case.

Most laptops come with wireless and wired LAN cards built into the
motherboard now. Before buying a router, see which router the manufacturer
recommends.

You would also need to but the router that is compatible with 802.11G. If
you do not, then you need to get network cards that the router can connect
to.

Why would he have to care which router the manufacturer recommends? It makes
no difference to the computer what kind of router it is attached to. What
makes a difference is the capabilities of the router itself. Personally I
would recommend a Linksys router. They generally run Linux and are very
good and capable for a low-cost device.

Wrong! Why would he need to purchase network cards when the laptops come
with builtin NICs?

So if I've got two laptops with Ethernet ports, can I connect 'em,
configure some XP network wizard, and transfer files?

If you connect both to a hub or router with a CAT5 cable, probably so.
If connecting directly, you'll need a crossover cable.
You will need to enable sharing on the folders containing the files that you
want to move.
