Netgear Wlan card? What does it do? Is it a WiFi enabled modem/router through which you connect your PC to access the net? If yes, then connect your PPC directly to it!

Else, if netgear is a WLAN card, learn how you can make it act like an hotspot and then connect your PPC.

Get me?

Carty..

I had internet over NIC one,and wireless network to connect my PPC to desktop. Now to pass internet to Wireless NIC just "bridge connection" from control panel-network and sharing centre-manage network connection....Right click on NIC1-add to bridge....right click NiC2-add to bridge

N.I.C-----Network interface card or lan card.If you don't have a switch, router then its a good idea to bridge all your networks so they are interconnected. A true web of networks. Any questions...message me.

One more thing, you cannot use a wireless card(net gear Belkin etc) as a gateway cuz one simple reason that it is not a router its just a connection point. I had a talk with Microsoft regarding this they say they might provide software to do this thing in the next windows. You can Google for software which can force your wifi card(wireless) card to become a gateway(hot spot) but chances of finding stable software are rare.
