Can I network these two together in any way?
[/quote]
For synchronising contacts and calendar and such? Yes - the phone comes with software to do that or you can download it. The phone has wi-fi too, so you'll be able to connect it to a wireless router for surfing.
As for mapping it as a network device - I don't think so, no, but someone else might be along to disabuse me of that.

You certainly can map a network folder on your pc so you can see and use it on the Desire. I use Estrongs file manager, but you can get an SMB plugin for Astro file manager if you use that...
I also have a program called Subsonic on the PC that looks at my music folders and allows the Desire to play any of that music from a browser interface via wifi.
You could also take a look at ORBLive for the ability to stream anything and everything from your pc to your phone, even over normal phone connections.
(Hope that has given you some things to play with

Sorry
- multiple choice options coming up
, which do you think you want to do?
1) I play the music I keep on my PC through my phone using the wifi in my house.
2) I can copy photos\mp3\movies that I keep on my PC to my phone via wifi in my house.
3) I can remote control my pc using my phone from the other room or even work.
4) I can watch movies that are playing on my PC using my phone.
Example Software required.
(1. Subsonic) (2.eStrongs File Explorer) (3 & 4 ORBLive)

Cool, not even my poxy Windows phone does that! Gotta love Google
How much success have you had the other way round? i.e. mapping a drive on a Windows PC (using Samba/CIFS?)

Never tried it tbh.
Not sure I see the point...interrogate PC from the sofa - fine.
Interrogate phone from the PC...well you may as well take the phone to the PC while you use the big keyboard...? but you got me wondering now LoL.
