1-Yes you can use a wifi dongle to share the interwebs with the x8.
2-Bluetooth is very slow and the cheap ones only have a few meters of coverage, you can buy a wifi pen for almost nothing and the setup is easier.
3-Adhoc is a direct connection between two devices of the same type (computers, phones, etc are clients, routers are access points). Connecting a phone to a computer uses an adhoc connection.
4- A dial up connection is an old way of connecting to the internet (there are several types of dial up) tru a phone line. The modem dials a number and establishes a very slow connection based on pulses. People like us don't use that anymore, only banks and such for secure "out of the web" data transfers..

It's very VERY easy with windows 7.
Read this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5369381/turn-y...reless-hotspot
You can get a 150Mb N adapter on ebay for just $5 and it will work fine..
