Felix,
Thanks! Now if it were only so easy under Windows. Sigh...

On a Mac, turn on wireless, click on the icon in the status bar and create a

even though it's just WEP, that's still better than nothing. To route
connections from that network, go to the System Preferences, Sharing,
Internet and turn on Internet Sharing on the built in Ethernet connections.
I am not sure you can use bluetooth as you described - bluetooth devices
advertise their category. I would expect that unless you laptops advertise
themselves as modems, the 770 would not be able to use them. Also, obviously
the range for bluetooth would be much smaller and you'd have to be near the
laptop and at that point might as well use the laptop for your browsing.

connected to the net, but... there's no WiFi access point handy. S
It would seem that there should be a way to:
- use the laptop sitting on my office desk (hard-wired connection to the
office LAN, wi-fi card) as a router, and/or,
- plug a bluetooth dongle into the laptop and use it as a router, and/or,
- connect via a usb cable and use the laptop as a router
But.. so far, I keep running into the limitations of WinXP internet
connection sharing - it doesn't like to use the fixed IP associated with
our internal LAN.
I'm sure that somebody has already figured this out - so any suggestions
or pointers would be much appreciated.
Also.. any comments re. doing the same thing, but with a Mac (my home
machine).
Thanks very much,
Miles Fidelman
