Use Wizard's WiFi Connection on PC as a WiFi Network Adapter

[Joelcottrell]

Hi All, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum or if it is even possible, but is it possible to use the wizard's wifi capability's on the pc as a wifi network adapter? I would love it if I could connect my wizard, via usb, to my pc, and use it as a wifi adapter to connect to my router? Thanks!

I think you can. If you have activesync installed, you can connect your ppc to your laptop/desktop and specify that you can use the desktop's internet connection ("This computer is connected to: Automatic/Work Network/The Internet"). If your laptop has a wifi connection to your router, then you're all set!

Hope this helps!

The thing is that I would like to use the wizard as my wifi connection for my laptop. My laptop does not have built in wireless, so instead of buying a wireless card for my laptop, I would like to use the wizard's built in wifi as a replacement, sorta like a wifi card for my laptop.

in theory it sounds like a good idea, and might even work-- i would like to know how to do this just in case i ever need it.

but in your case, you might want to look at mpci/cardbus wifi adapters, get a good mpci card if your laptop supports it.

i have a intel centrino branded card that came with my dell 600m, i noticed a couple pulls on ebay just like it last week for about $25?

and on the upper hand, if you ever need to break into some locked networks, backtrax2 supports that card fully.
