Since u can transfer data through the infra-red port, couldnt you build a host application on a host computer and have it feed data (web pages esp.) to the PPC that the PPC requests.<br>____________________<br>It only makes sense if the person your talking can undertand it.

That's called a Proxy Server - a client connects to it, and it relays the information to the real network (in this case the internet). You would have to modify your Pocket PC registry manually to allow TCP/IP over USB. Then setup a proxy server on your PC (such as the free AnalogX proxy server). I don't know where the instructions are exactly for the registry modification, but it has been discussed in these forums before.<br><br>Dan East
