Using a spare laptop as a wireless router

Hi

I'm looking to create a small home office environment set up in the
following way:

I have 3 laptops, all with built-in wireless adaptors. I'd like to use one
of them as a server with printers, my dsl modem (incl. firewall etc), etc
connected to it. The other laptops in the office would then connect
wirelessly to this server for access to these resources. Is this
feasible/possible? Can a wireless adaptor on a laptop support multiple
connections?

This is a schematic of what I would like to do:

internet <-----(wired)-----> dsl router <-----(wired)-----> laptop
server <- - - - (wireless) - - - -> laptop

|

\----(wired)-----> printer


P.S. does anyone know if I can run MS 2003 Server SBS on a laptop!?

Thats a bit of an open ended question. Like asking, how long is a piece
of string..Look up specs for MS Server and match your laptop.
Depends on the type of processor and memory. More details please.
Should be able to, if its the correct specs.
Depends on the laptop wireless card. Some can. See what kind it is.
