Hi everyone!
I just bought a tj37 and have discovered this really cool place, cliesource rocks! :D
now to my first question: i d like to make use of my clie`s wireless capabilities at home but have no wifi router. can`t i just plug my laptop to my dsl modem via good ol cable and use the built in wifi to set up a wifi network? i wouldn t use the tj37`s wifi at home often, so i dont want to do the expense of a wireless router...
thanks for ur help!

Yes, this is possible. It's very easy to setup using XP. You just run the Internet Connection Sharing wizard. It's also possible to do this in other versions of Windows, it's just that XP is almost stupidly easy to do. However, you can get wireless routers for $20 nowadays. That way your laptop doesn't have to be online to allow your Clie to be online. Plus, you could use your Clie wirelessly.
