Internet connection of a 5mx via IR?

gschuetz · Internet connection of a 5mx via IR?

Recently I got a COMPEX IRE201. This gadget connects any PDA, Personal Computer to a LAN via Infrared. With a PocketPC or Palm you can enter the Internet or manage your emails. The same is possible with the PSION Netbook.
But trying to connect a 5mx to the Internet it fails, because the 5mx cannot leave a local area notwork. You can just secure your data with nftp to a local machine or download data from there just by using an IR-connection.
So what a blame for the 5mx, the only possibility to enter the internet, which would work, is to use a proxy-server within the LAN. But unfortunately I haven´t got a proxy.
Has anybody an idea, how to get to Internet with a 5mx via LAN?

Yes, you can connect your 5MX with MochaPPP to your LAN.
It's now freeware

It´s not the question to connect to LAN, it´s the question to reach Internet via LAN without using a PC. The COMPEX IRE201 is directly connected to the router. So it would be nice to look for emails without starting a PC.
You can get into contact with the PC in many ways,
- nftp
- PSIWIN
- 2connectu
- PLbeam
but I would be interested in getting connected to the Internet using the Router and the COMPEX. I know, it would work with a Proxy-Server which is connected to the Router. But therefore you have to run a old PC with LINUX software. I would prefer a solution just runing the PSION 5mx.
