Vista - ZyDAS Wifi problem. can't seem to fix it

Hello,

I have a major problem with the Wifimax ZyDAS dongle.
OS: vista 32bit
My normal internet connection does work correctly.

I do have the new driver from the site of codejunkies. the ZyDAS icon does appear in my status bar. It also appears in the Connections section. But there it says it isn't connected. I tried everything, but it seems my pc thinks that if I try to turn it on, he needs to connect to this acces point... But I want it to be an acces point for my ds and wii. When I try to connect my ds to it, it gives a signal at first, but than dies out with the error "unable to obtain IP address" So I think my wireless connection is not connected to the internet on my pc.

Can somebody tell me exact what to do, so that it will work?
I somebody please wants to tell me from start till end.

Thankyou.

Help, anybody?

sounds like you need to setup an adhoc network between the wireless
and the device(s) and then bridge to the wired lan adapter in the
computer.

My recommendation is to buy a router.
