I understand that a wireless card pings the networks around it within a certain area, but why is it that I get that problem, at times, when I try an connect to the wireless network?
Frankly I can't make heads or tails of what you're exactly trying to say there ... but it has probably something to do with the fact that you are using double routers in a way. Or it might just be that the wireless security is using a unsuported protocol (or plain wrong password)

Anyway, happy you figured out how to make it work. From your original post I didn't understand you were trying to use the laptop as a router for the rest of your house.
But as NightDagger mentioned above it would indeed better if you would just configure the router as to act as a extention of the existing wireless (not sure if the WRT45G supported that however)
