I was wondering...
I have two Win2000 Pro computers, an HP iPAQ rx3115 (Win Mobile 2003 se), and a wireless antenna on loan from a friend (Netgear MA111 (http://www.netgear.de/pics/MA111/ma111_800x600.jpg)).
I was wondering; could I connect the Netgear antenna to one computer, and my handheld (with wifi set to "on") to the other, and network those two PCs like that?
I know that that would be a very weird way of doing it, but is it possible (I'm too lazy to go buy real PC wifi antennas)?

Thanks, have a great day!

The easiest way would be to spend $20 and get one more USB Wifi dongle(it's not just an antenna it contains the tranceiver and codecs for the wifi transfers).

To the best of my knowledge there is no passthrough in that direction via activesync.

With bluetooth it's possible, but it really is FAR less hassle to just buy another wifi transceiver.

Okay... I kind of figured it wouldn't work. I thought it was at least worth a try, anyway. Thanks for replying.
Good day to ya.
