Hi, I'm new here
Let me introduce myself, I am PocketPC user since 2002-2003. I've used a ViewSonic V35 but now I am currently using an iPaq hx2410.

Now here comes the question. Is there any program that permits a pocketpc and laptop to communicate using Wifi and no access-points. When I talk about communicate, I mean :
-chat
-share files
-maybe talk using a microphone.

I have found many applications such as Skype and Buzzone but the problem is that they use Bluetooth (range is very limited...10 meters max.) or they need an access-point.

Thank you for taking your time to respond....
