I have a wireless Network setup, with a modem and D-link router. All my wireless laptops can connect to this network.
My Desktop PC is placed in a room without an internet outlet but I have another D-link router setup to the desktop.
My desktop does not have any sort of wireless card. I need help connecting my Desktop with the second router, to my
pre-configured wireless connection.
Any help will be appreciated.

Go into the wireless router configuration screen, look under wireless settings and see if there is a place to change the mode from AP to client.

I have a Linksys, which I upgraded with the dd-wrt firmware, but I'm guessing most routers have this capability.

It's rare to find a ap client on any router.. you may want to see if 1 of your 2 routers has the ability to take a 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or openwrt

Otherwise I just suggest you ebay your router.. and buy yourself a client card.. for $10-20 (cheapie if you want)

Found this: Aimed towards a Mac, but a router is a router is a router (usually). Depends on your routers having some features built in, but since we don't know what model you have it's crap shoot.
