I can only partially understand what you're attempting to say, but if you already have something that broadcasts a wireless signal, your DS should be able to detect the signal and connect using that. The DS, to the best of my knowledge, cannot "connect through your computer" - you need wireless Internet, either via a wireless router or similar apparatus or a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector.

Basically I am trying to set up my computer as an "acess point" by opening it as a gateway for a wireless network. That way my wireless adaptor should work like the nintendo USB wifi piece does.

My DS does pick up my wireless, but can't connect to the internet throguh it.
