hey guys,

is it possible to connect to a wirless network from my laptop, then
share it through the ethnet card to another wireless router(D-Link
DI-524)? so my wireless router will also use the same internet as the
one my laptop is connected to?

Sure. You can setup either wireless bridging or wireless routing on
your laptop, between two ethernet ports, and share the connection with
other machines on the ethernet port. See Windoze Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) for one of the many ways to do this.

Adding the D-Link DI-524 is un-necessary with ICS, as the laptop will
provide the NAT, DHCP, and shared access. However, the added router
will work within the limitations and complications caused by having
two (or three) routers in series.

If you have any other questions, you might find it more useful to
supply:
1. What you're trying to accomplish.
2. What you have to work with. (Hardware, software, numbers...)
