AP - Access Point - that's the mode where your computer's Wi-Fi card acts as a Wi-Fi access point (it's called connection sharing or similar, I don't use windows so can't help you directly).

I thought many wireless chipsets don't support that in laptops though, no?  With a notable exception for Atheros. Or is it that you can still run the AP but just not in promiscuous mode?  I had a laptop working as essentially a wireless router a few years back, don't remember any of the setup anymore, lol.
