Did you check that your firewall isn't blocking the connection? Well that's the first thing have you checked that up?

to create Wireless LAN, we have to go for WiFi SD card. what is the techonlogy for WiFi. we have create 1 access point SSID. after createing access points in others computers its done. next you have to insert ur CARD in usb port.

Bluetooth devices are used to create a wireless communication. e.g. connect your Handset to PC with a bluetooth dongle.

yes i understand
but bluetooh is not equal to wifi
u cannot configure bluetooth lan using wifi setup and vice versa

also bluetooth is not compatible with wifi so u cant use bluetooth to connect to a wireless SSID
