Using a Wi-Fi PPC for PC access...


Recommended Posts

Basically the situation is:

At work we have no connection to the internet (being used by office network), I am awaiting arrival of an MDA Vario... Now I know I can access a wi-fi network at work, and was wondering if there was a way I could activate the wi-fi on the Vario, active sync with my work pc via the usb cable, and use the Vario to access the internet on my PC?

I think that makes sense...

Any Suggestions?

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think internet passthrough works in that direction. It works if you are accessing the internet on your device, using the pc's web connection, but not in reverse.

You could use the vario as a modem, connecting to the web using its data connection, but then you would have data charges.

do you reckon i could change the driver of the PPC to that of a USB wifi access dongle...?

there must be a way to do it...
