Windows Phone Thoughts: Windows XP Ad-hoc Wireless Sync and Internet Sharing

"I thought I'd write some kind of guide on how I set up my system for syncing and internet access. Your system is probably different because of different network cards and drivers. Nevertheless, I hope you find something useful here. Comments, corrections, etc. welcomed...As indicated in the title, I want to sync with my desktop and also share Internet access from there. The network consists of just two WLAN adapters working in ad-hoc mode because this is the cheapest way to go wireless. I use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) in Windows XP."

If you're looking to do the above, you'd just need a Pocket PC with WiFi access and a a desktop WiFi USB adapter. I've never gone this route - I've always purchased gateways - but this looks like a good way to do it on the cheap. Worth a look!
