Thanks

Short answer Yes and Yes
One of the laptops will be the main machine. You may be able to connect them without a wireless router, but I have not tried this.

You certainly can connect them (peer to peer) with a router (same one you use at home, I would recommend all be on N but G is very adequate.)

You can network your home computers like this. They should all be on the same network ("workgroup" or "mshome" I think are the XP defaults). If it's windows7 then they need the same homegroup password. Then you just have to right click on the folder you want to share or put it in the shared folder (find that in my computer above the hard disk.

Same principle here, share the AC folder on one("main") but not the other. Even though both are "fully loaded" programs with the SQL server (in case there is a problem and you switch to the other) only 1 AC folder will be visable to both.
