If you have a PC with a broadband Internet connection,
you will have to make that Internet connection available to the
wireless network that connects to the SL50i.
To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for
bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or
wired network.
As an example we have included a chapter on page 38-42 of
the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD
on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your
Microsoft ® Windows ® operating system. For Microsoft
other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is
readily available on the market.
For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read
the documentation that came with the software or with your
operating system.
> After bridging the internet connection to your wireless
(or wired) network, you will be able to use the SL50i to
access the Internet just like your computer.
