yeah you can get bits from pc world im sure i saw a special were you get a router and a dongle for £50
you need a wireless router, which one you need epends on your internet connection ethier adsl or cable.
and a way of connecting the laptop to the router which you can get a usb wireless dongle probs the easiest or a pcima wireless card, you can get all from pc world.

yeah ive got a xda2i very little you need to do as soon as the wireless network is plugged in an you can access it on your laptop turn the wirless on the xda on and it will pop up saying " your routers name " then just click connect and it will connect to the network.
after that you can use active sync over the wireless network, and also access files on your pc from the xda tis great i can sit in the garden and lisen to my entire mp3 collection through my phone.
also the internet works on the phone through broadband obviously lol .

I have a 3 Com router which the main pc is connected to. I then have a 3 Com firewire card in my laptop. I think it was around £170 from Ebuyer.
