I believe someone has done it before and I stuffed it in my email for future reference. I've pasted it below, good luck!

How I surf with my clie using adhoc, a wifi laptop, and AOL dialup

First off many thanks to all the users of this forums for their help with this subject. And second I would like to say I am in no way an expert in networks or configuring computers!! This method was found through trial and error and lots of long frustrating nights.

I finally got this to work with my AOL dialup, a Sony laptop with built in wifi, and my clie.

You will need a copy of PPPshar lite http://www.pppindia.com/intl/pppshar. download, install and follow the instructions to setup your ip address.

Clie Settings:

IP: 192.168.0.3
Sub:255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.2

DNS: 192.161.0.2

I found that if I don't enter a dns I was unable to connect to anything.


Laptop Settings:
Internet Sharing was enabled on the wifi adapter.
 
You can find your ip settings for your computer using the run command in the start bar of xp by typing in cmd /k ipconfig

wifi card;

IP: 192.168.0.2
Sub: 255.255.255.0

Make sure that in your wifi network settings under TCP/IP you select properties and assign the ip and sub. listed above this sentence. Now you need to click advanced on the wifi adapter screen, and press the settings button at the bottom right corner and select web server from the list, then press edit and enter your gate way IP listed under the PPP adapter with the cmd /k ipconfig command.

I use Pocket Link II, so this may vary depending on what you use. Under options/network select UseProxy and enter in 192.168.0.2 and use port 81.

If you have done all of this correctly and enabled PPPshar Lite you should be able to browse the internet with your Clie!! I will be posting detailed instructions with pictures on my website in the near future. 


Note: I have not been able to use clie mail, or Avantgo with these settings and I will be looking into this later when I have time.
