Alright, I have a Sprint Broadband account for when I am on the road. What I would like to do is share this connection with co-workers or my g/f if she is traveling with me.
Is this possible? What about if I pay for a T-Mobile account while at the airport (the 24 hours for $9.99)? Any ideas on how I could set this up and what hardware I would need? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

PCMIA but I'd like to share while I'm using it.

Don't see how you could share. I assume each PCMCIA has a unique id # that is similar to, if not exactly the same, as a MAC address. You might be able to clone it, but seems like that wouldn't be viable if both are online at the same time.
The card is given to you when you buy the connection, right? Or is there some kind of login procedure with username/password? I'm thinking it's going to be like my satellite radio though, where each radio has its own code that is activated/deactivated to determine who gets the signal. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

Are you talking about sharing your connection peer to peer or the card itself? If its the former, here is a good article. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/n..._02april08.mspx
