Can i use my PPC as a wifi adapter?

[S.K. Genius]

I have a laptop with no internet/wifi, my PPC (XDA mini) and a wireless router + broadband.

Can i somehow connect to the wireless networkon the laptop, through the PPC?

There are certain ways of rigging it, but they are incomplete at best, and a huge hassle to boot. Worse, connecting through the Pocket PC will have a performance impact.

Instead, consider that WiFi adapters are really cheap nowadays. You can get several different ones for under $20 (http://pocketpcthoughts.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php?form_keyword=802.11+pc+card&topcat_id=&page_id=371&lo_p=0&hi_p=0), and there are many around $30.

As Janakh has poited out, it's the best to get a Wi-Fi stick.

If you really want to access the Internet via your PPC, you will need to know that you will only have Web access, nothing else. Here's the tutorial (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=453&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) I've written on this.

Thanks, got it working eventually, this is being posted by a laptop, a laptop with a top speed of 220, YES 220 Mhz 8O

I'm gettin a speedy powerful computer in a month or so, so there wouldnt be much point in buying a wifi adapter.

Ahh, i'm so pleased.
