browsing internet using cradle/cable option in prefs>network

[michaelnyden]

there is an option in the preferences under the network selection that lets you choose cradle/cable as an option for network, does this mean you can use netfront through the cradle when linked to the PC? is this possible to use your computers connection to surf the internet without the wireless lan card using the cradle and netfront? i know the idea of surfing the internet is crazy considering that the chances are you have a computer with full mouse and keyboard and big monitor to surf....hence, why would you want to surf on the such a little device right next to the said computer....i however, just wanna try surfing the internet on the my nx80v, considering i don't have bluetooth or wireless lan!

You need to buy the Softick PPP program for surfing the internet from your palm.

Anyway, its useful, let's say someone is using your computer, with a fullscreen game, and they dont wanna let you use it, just for checking if you got new email, you can check it from your palm without hassle.

Also it's great for testing out various web browsers before you go out and buy a WiFi modem. Just to see how various web-stuff will look on your PDA.
