    Ron,

    You can share the PC Internet with the PPC. You have to go to network and
    dialup connections and right click on the local area connection and go to
    properties. There you will see a tab called sharing which will allow you to
    chare your internet connections when you check it. Set your PPC to the same
    SSID as issued to the wireless USB device. Set the connection mode as ad-hoc
    on both the PPC and the PC wireless USB, and since you're at work, I would
    use 128 bit encryption. Make sure you use WORK - Work - Work in your PPC
    connections settings and then click the modify button for each, go to proxy
    settings, and place a check mark in "This network connects to the internet".

    This should do the trick. I may have left our a step or two, because I am
    typing this from so-called memory.

    Hope this helps

    Daniels
