Can a Wireless Network Card work as a Wireless Access Point in Laptop

Question

Hi

I have a laptop with wireless and LAN card. I have a wired Internet connection. Can I use my wireless network card as wireless access point and then bridge the lan and wireless connection. So that I can access the internet in other wireless devices like Ipod Touch.My OS is Windows XP.

Thanks

not a programming question. but it can connect to another device on a ad-hoc basis. Google http://www.google.com/#q=ad+hoc+laptop. Plenty of guides.

Answer 2

Yes that's easy in XP just right click on the WiFi card and 'share internet'

Many guides:
