这个软件目前只支持WIN7系统,大概的解释是说一般网卡工作在AD Hoc模式,而WIN7下的网卡支持Access Point模式。
区别:Access Point模式允许你使用同一个网卡来分享WIFI,
AD Hoc模式则是需要另外的网卡接入网络(如3G上网,或者网线连接BOX,或第二块WIFI网卡)
Connectify works with all WiFi cards under Windows 7. Any card can do "Ad Hoc" mode, and Windows 7 certified cards can also do "Access Point" mode (see below).
The single biggest difference between the two modes is that Access Point mode allows you to actually share a WiFi connection from the same WiFi card that you are using to access the WiFi network. Ad Hoc mode needs the Internet connection to come from another card (Ethernet, cellular or a second WiFi card in your computer).
Connectify's Access Point mode works with new Windows 7 logo-tested WiFi devices, and many older devices that have compatible Windows 7 drivers.

目前只支持win7版本
Connectify runs on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, both in either 32 or 64 bits.
Windows 7 Starter Edition is not supported, as it lacks some of the features Connectify utilizes.
