If your laptop obtains Internet wirelessly through the wireless gateway, then plug in your router or PC directly to the gateway's ethernet ports
if your laptop obtains Internet wirelessly and the wireless gateway is physically inaccessible, then turn on "Internet Connection Sharing" in "Wireless connection" properties of your laptop for "Local area network". Plug in your PC's cable (or router) to your laptop
