O.P. RE: Is it possible to "trick" an ad hoc network into being a structural?
Nah where I’m going is a University College, they have all the stuff there, it would be useless for me to bring it there.... They already have full wireless N and gigabit networking.....

Im not strictly disallowed, but it would be a waste of money.....

Someone else suggested using Linux and iptables..... Anyone had an experience with that?

EDIT:From the description Connectify sounds like it could do it. But it is having issues with my wireless adapter....

Which device were you planning on running Linux on? If you're thinking the one connected to the lan, you would have to wipe out Windows (or dual boot and only use wireless half the time), and even then you'd be lucky if the distribution will support the wireless dongle properly without some massive tweaking. Getting a wireless router really is the easiest way to do this, and probably the most effective.

I know it’s the easiest, but i can’t really, and the challenge is more satisfying, even if at the end nothing comes to fruition....

I was just going to virtualise my Linux and connect my USB dongle straight into the machine (bypassing Windows). Using Virtrualbox of course....

basic wireless routers cost very little (2nd hands one's got be got for pennies), and can be used in the future/left at home for others to use. so the best & easiest is to buy a router
