Hi,
My house is Wi-fi enabled (i.e. we have a wifi-router connected to our broadband) and I can surf the internet from my M3100. I do not have a wifi-card for my PC, and was wondering if there is a way to use my phone as a bridge? E.g. I'd like to connect my phone to my PC via the USB cable, and connect my phone to the internet via wi-fi with the net result of being able to access the internet from my PC.
Firstly, is this possible? Secondly if it is possible with wmodem then I appear to have a problem, for when I run wmodem (with active sync closed/disabled), then connect the USB cable to my PC, I do not get the 'found new hardware' box, and I can't get the USB modem driver to install (trying to manually add new hardware and browse to the .inf file does not work - it doesn't seem to see any driver in the inf). I'm using windows XP.
Any help you can offer will be appreciated,
Steve
