PPC - how to access internet?

hui · 19th January 2005, 2:48 PM

Hey guys i have sinked my ppc to my comp.

I want to use the pda for internet when im not on my comp.

Was thinking of getting a usb bluetooth wirless thing. Its like them storage keys but with a little antenna.

Also a problem with my ppc sink, it sometimes "unsinks" for reason....

I have a View Sonic V37 PPC.

How do i install games, everytime i put it on my sd card and double click it says its not a microsoft application and wont run....?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

for msn messenger there is an update that you have to download first so go to microsoft website and search for it

for wireless internet use a BT dongle will work and it also means you can activsync it wirelessly as well.

the sync might lose connection if its idling too long, but with a BT dongle you can connect directly to the PC without syncing so that shouldn't be a problem

as for you game problem with SD card, are you installing through the PC? if so don't choose "install to default location" and choose SD card instead, from there it should be placed in your "games" folder under "programs"
