Wireless Internet connection w/o a desktop computer

Currently I have to have my Linksys Router connected to my old desktop
PC in order for my laptops to receive the internet connection. I want
to trash the old desktop but when I disconnect it from the router my
laptops lose the internet connection. How can I run the linksys
router with it being hooked to a desktop PC? I'm running Comcast
HighSpeed and my laptops are using Vista. Anyone?

TIA
