So, the laptops are not connected to the Internet? How do you access
the Internet to post and read this list, download Debian ISO's, etc.?

Why do they have to be connected to the Internet? I have four computers
here. Three are not connected, one is.
So one of Richard's two has to be connected.
Not really ;)
As I had said in last paragraph of
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/08/msg00609.html :
"Why would I be interested in ssh as both machines are sitting on
my desk and _neither_ will be connected to the internet when
ethernet connection is live?"
The sole purpose of the Ethernet connection is to avoid
sneakernet when transferring small preseed.cfg and script files
from the WinXP machine to my Debian experiment.
Correction - or rather, expansion to include what was clearly inferred. ;-)
So one of Richard's two has to be connected., AT LEAST FOR SOME OF THE
TIME. ;-)

NO <GRIN>
I physically have two other machines on my desk which I could
serve nicely to connect to the internet. Connecting either of the
T43 or R61 ha NEVER been considered ;)
People keep presuming me to be normal and/or typical. Relatives
gave up that idea eons ago.
