Hi all. I've connected my xda2mini (with WLAN card) to an adhoc net at home and was able to browse the net/connect around (via broadband through a gateway comp). Now I want to hook it up with a laptop (doesn't have wifi) as a wireless adapter. How exactly do I connect the two? Is it by "wireless modem"? Tried USBmodemdialer and Activesync but no success (activesync seems to share internet from laptop if avail but not the other way aroundd). Any pointers appreciated. Thanks.

The original poster didn't indicate whether he/she was using a Mac or Windows -- or if they had Bluetooth, for that matter.

sekinoss, my main question is: why? The Pocket PC is not designed to do this easily, and considering laptop WiFi adapters have become very cheap, I'd strongly advise you to get a PC card or USB WiFi adapter instead.
