TJ37 and Internet connect sharing

[dalego]

Is is possible to do an internet connect sharing with a TJ37 via wifi? I know is sounds crazy but I don't have any high speed connection only dialup. Maybe somebody has tried to do it already. :confused:

What are you asking? Do you want to tap into someone else's high speed network using the TJ-37? Or do you just want to set up a dialup connection (not necessarily ICS) on the TJ-37? I have my TJ-37 set up to use my wireless high speed connection when I'm at home and it also uses dialup on my Prodigy account (which I keep to use for traveling, mostly). In order to use a dialup connection, you will need an infrared modem (I have a Psion Travelmate). You can usually get them on e-Bay for around $35-50. They use two AA batteries and communicate with your TJ-37 via its infrared port. Great little gadget:

Hope this helps.

I was thinking more of an ad hoc connection between my PC and the TJ37, since my PC has only a dialup, I was hoping I could tap into the PC's dialup via ICS to be able to surf with the TJ37 when I'm away from the PC.

Well, there really wouldn't be any benefit in that, as far as I can see. If your main PC is on dialup, and you are away from it, all you need is a phone jack, a modem and your dialup settings. Dialup is dialup. It would be a different story if your primary computer was using broadband, then I could see the advantage in tapping into it, rather than using a slower dialup connection. It's very easy to add a dialup setting to your TJ37.

But I must not be clear on what you are after. Sorry! :confused:

I know I won't benefit from the slow connection of the dialup, but what I would like to know is if it is possible to access the dialup connection of my PC using the ICS then connecting to my TJ37 via wifi. So its like internet->dialup
->ICS->wifi->TJ37. Without spending for any kind of modem.

Yes. As long as the computer is setup with WiFi adhoc and the TJ-37 connection is setup to be adhoc as well.

This is assuming you've setup ICS properly. But it is possible, since I've done it myself (with broadband).
