I have finally gotten all my PPC's to connect and sync to my laptop using
ad-hoc
wi-fi connections. The thing I can't do is get the Activesync internet pass
through to work. So I've pretty much abandoned the idea. But instead will
seek another solution.

Anyone know of a package or method that allows the sharing of a dial-up
internet
connection via a network? I checked out Sygate home network but the client
software isn't intended for PPC's. My laptop is running 98se. How is
everyone else sharing a dial-up connection? If I had broadband, it would be
easy. But I don't..... :(

Thanks for any help,
Russ

When I had Win98 in my computer, I used to do it using Wingate from
http://www.wingate.com/ . It did the job very well, including automatic
dialing to the network when requested by the other peers (pocket pcs or
other computers).

In principle, every proxy program will do the job. I am sure that a google
search for "freeware proxy" will bring you also results that are given for
free. What I liked in Wingate was the easiness of configuration.
