I have a Macbook equipped with "Apple's N" wireless and would like to share that connection/link it to my Windows desktop so I can get internet from that. Is there any way I can do this?

So you want to share your MB's wireless connection to the windows desktop?
If so, just go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet
Make sure Airport is selected in the drop-down menu and check Built-in Ethernet in the list. Push Start, connect an ethernet cable from the MB to the PC and that should be it...

Okay so now that I have done the above I tried using my Windows Desktop but the LAN is not picking up any activity. Is it connected through wireless on windows? If not what do I do?

You should also go into your PC's network card's properties and renew its IP (or open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig /renew" without the quotes and press Enter). You must tell the network card to update its address; it won't do it automatically.
