    Hi,
    not sure if this is laptop or windows mobile question but...
    i have a poorly laptop awaiting repair. no wifi or lan working.
    as a temp measure, i can connect my kaiser mobile to the internet via my wireless router.
    i can then connect the kaiser to the laptop with usb, but how do i share the connection?
    only options using internet sharing on windows mobile are through gprs, which is no good.
    laptop has windows 7.

    EDIT: used wmwifirouter on pda which does the job :D

    Can you be more specific about hardware. If you have a router hooked to the web you can cat5 cable it. If you have the web with wifi on a laptop you can run a cat5 cable to another computer. There are several applications that will allow you to use some win mobile phones to tether to your laptop also. Windows mobile phones have software that allows you to tether to a laptop if you know how to set it up. Your wireless carrier may have this limited or disabled also.
