Sorry for not letting it clear. There are two parts at this website. The part I followed is *Part #2*. you can search for "*Part #2*:". But it is too simple to be relevant.
I have a desktop machine, witch is connected to a wireless router by a wired connection. But the wireless router is too far from my room, so I want to use my wireless card to extend the signal, so I'll be able to use it by my phone and my friends I'll also use it. Since I just want to extend it, I guess that I should use infrastructure mode, to maintain all the devices at the same network, using the dhcp server from the router itself. But, first things first! I just want to connect and see it working anyway, in first place. My phone still can't see the network, but my sister's notebook does. However it is seen in a different way: the windows 7 recognize it as if it were a wired conection ( 3 PCs icon instead of a usual signal bar). But when connected it still can't surf the net. Any help would be appreciated. :) 2012/10/2 J.
