Default Can i do this? Making my Server2003 a wireless router

hi,

I have a windows 2003 server box with RRAS that works as a NAT.
The server also has DHCP and of course AD and DNS

Question is, can i get a wireless NIC and put it in my server and setup the WNIC to run like a wiresless router would? as an access point? or will i only be able to get computer-to-computer connection through the WNIC.

I have a Netgear WG311v3 WNIC and i fiddled around with it to try and get it to do this but no such luck....

Is it the WNIC? do some WNICs not do this etc?
If so, who knows of a WNIC that has the ability to setup as an AP and run this function like a wireless router?
Is anyone running this setup or a similar one?

Cheers

Why do you need a windows server to act as a wireless AP when a basic AP is so cheap to buy?
