Configuring Wired Computer through WAP

I have a Netgear WGT624v3.

I currently have my desktop PC wired straight to my modem/router with
the netgear working in "WAP" mode for my roommates computer in the
living room.

Is it possible to configure a wired computer without a wireless adapter
to use the Netgear to pick up Wireless signals?

Thanks.

Oh wait... I'm getting something... I think you want Client Mode on a
Wireless Router. Some after-market firmwares can add that capability to SOME
routers. I'm not familiar with any that covers Netgear WGT624. Also usually
Client mode kills you using it for Access Point mode. Unless you do 2
routers and do something like WDS.. that might work.
