Hi,

I have a desktop at home with Windows 7 OS and I would like to connect my ipod and Blackberry through Wifi. I have a Reliance Net Connect USB stick.

Now, how do I utilize the internet from my desktop and connect other devices like ipod and BB and start using the internet. It is bit easy with a laptop with Windows 7 OS but I have a desktop. It is possible through a wifi router? If yes please suggest one with price / brand options. Also let me know how do I connect it.

Please note that i will be using the dongle / 3G stick and not the LAN connection.

cheers
Siva
