I have a quick question regarding reverse networking, in which I would be able to connect something to my laptop to access a wireless network. In a sense it's using your notebook as a WAP, but wanting to connect say another router through it? or a VOIP. Thanks for the help.

Are you referring to wireless ad hoc mode?
-
No, not ad hoc. More like I am using my neighbors wireless connection (they know
), but I also have a Sunrocket phone. Instead of paying $40 for my internet connection, I would like to use theirs as my main wireless access. I would also like to keep my Sunrocket phone going as I have business use associated with that phone line.
It sounds pretty confusing, but I wanted to know if there was a device that could use your wireless signal and allow something to wire into it. Not wireless. -
OK. I think what you're thinking of is Internet Connection Sharing then. Your computer connects to the wireless, then shares the connection through it's wired LAN port.

Should work. Connect the Gizmo's WAN port to your computer after configuring ICS on it.

Thanks WackyT, your information is great. I'll have to try it out later tonight.

Glad to help out.
Post back with your results.
