laptop internet via cellphone connection?Help.
« on: June 01, 2006, 05:58:16 PM »
I want to use my Palm Treo cingular connection to access internet through my laptop -- new Lenovo x60.  How can I do this?

I guess it depends partly on which Treo?  Look in the manual, under "modem".  Many phones have an infrared or bluetooth connection which you can use to hook them up to your PC/laptop.  Browsing the web this way can be quite expensive though!
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

thanks  for your reply.  Both have bluetooth and I found a little shareware program to link the internet connection.  With cingular I've got  $25/month unlimited web access on the treo.
