connect to home network

[bharned]

Can I connect to my home wireless network to get in the internet if I do not have the data plan on my account?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: No - the 7100t uses the GPRS network to connect. Your home network is WiFi (802.11). No way.

i'd like to know if anyone figures it out tho. I can use my phone as a wireless modem for my laptop to use, but not the other way around

OK, it can be done. Here is what you need on your home network:
At least one Exchange Server
At least one BES running 4.0 with the blackberry router.
A USB connection between your 7100x and a wirelessly enabled PC running the Handheld manager software.

The handheld will redirect data traffic away from the GPRS network and over the USB to your PC. The handheld manager software on your PC will connect over the WLAN to the BES blackberry router. MDS will proxy the browser and go out over your household internet connection. No problem, right?

based on current pricing, this solution will achieve ROI in about 200 years. :razz:
