Itouch and 3 Dongle

seaviewuk · 6 Jul 2008 at 18:07

Hi,

Would there be any way possible that I can use my Itouch as a browsing device wirelessly by connecting to my laptop with 3's (3G USB dongle) connected to the net?

My laptop has it's own onboard wireless card if that's relevant.

cheers

You should be able to set your laptop up as an adhoc network then use some kind of basic routing software for routing out through to the 3g dongle.

Thanks for your swift response.

Is it pretty easy for a networking newbie?

I'm running XP on the laptop.

Is the wireless built into the laptop, or do you use an external dongle?

You'll need to set it so that its working as an access point.

There's quite a few apps that work as a simple "router" if you have a google. Depending on how good the drivers are for the wifi thing you might even be able to just use internet connection sharing in WinXP.
