Since my NDS doesn't WPA/2 (WTF Nintendo?), and there is no way I'm switching back to WEP, I've though about making an Ad-hoc with my laptop.
Is there a way to have the ad-hoc and be connected to my network at the same time? When I set it up on Windows I get disconnected from my network

There is, but it can be an iffy, experimental proposition, at least that's what I just learned doing a quick google on the question.
Generally speaking, the physical h/w can do it, but it requires sophisticated software, which generally isn't MS' forte. At any rate, here are two little gems I plucked from my google search:
1) A posting in the dslreports.com forums, describing the poster's accidental discovery of how to simultaneously access internet through an infrastructure network and print to a wireless capable printer on an ad-hoc network, and
2) An experimental app from research.microsoft.com called VirtualWiFi that creates virtual interfaces (on the same physical h/w) that can be independently configured, thereby permitting simultaneous access to an infrastructure network on one virtual interface, and access to an ad-hoc network on another virtual interface.
I would imagine, however, that with only one physical interface, your throughput on either connection will suffer quite noticeably. -
Hey, thanks! I'll check if that works.

Ok
I tried with 2 wireless connection (I have an USB wireless card) on my laptop. It "worked" but no internet on the DS. When I try to enable connection sharing, windows crashes >_>
