TWO wireless networks, TWO homes, want to BRIDGE the wireless connections

[IcemanMods]

Ok, here is the setup

My house
D link 624 108mb router
HP Laptop Internal 54G

His House
D link 524 54mb router
Sony Vaio Laptop

I want to bridge the two wireless routers together, so we can access
each others files etc,.Right now I have to dissconnect my own wireless
connection, then connect to his, then when finished recconect back to
mine. I want it to all work seamless without all that jazz, I also want
to have quick access to his drives, I would like to map network drives
to access his computer.

I dont know if this is possible with these two routers, It doesnt seem
feasible. My thoughts are get another wireless card then bridge them
together, thus retaining my wireless connection on primary card then
access his on the secondary card, I had a wireless card in my pcmcia
slot at one point and I think it disable my internal somehow. I could
always do a usb 2.0 wireless card, any ideas?

As you were told in microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware this is a
d-link issue & as such should be talked about over in a d-link newsgroup
as the OS has nothing to do with two routers talking to each other.

You also need to read the following links.

If these 2 networks have different subnets, then the 2nd wireless adapter
should serve your needs. However, you would want to manually set the 2nd
adapter's IP and subnet mask - do not configure a default gateway or DNS
server on the 2nd adapter. You cannot bridge the routers, and bridging the
HP's connections is neither necessary nor useful.
