Sharing a Single Internet Connection

The iPAQ Connection Point lets all of the supported devices on
your local network share the same Internet connection at the
same time.
You can share your existing broadband connection, or use the
built-in V .90 modem.
Within your local network, each device is assigned a unique IP
address by the iPAQ Connection Point DHCP server.
If you send a request over the Web, such as when your browser
performs a search, the IP address of the local device making the
request is replaced with the IP address that identifies your local
network to the Internet.
When the requested data arrives, the iPAQ Connection Point
sends the information to the network device that made the
request.
