To access the internet on your PocketPC and/or Sync your AvantGo 
channels via a USB connection to an internet connected Mac do the 
following:

1) Open System Preferences (on the Mac)
2) Click on the "Sharing" Icon.
3) If your firewall is on, look under the "Services" tab and make sure 
"Personal Web Sharing" is checked.  This opens port 80 in your 
firewall.  It also turn on your web server, but that doesn't really 
matter if nobody trys to look at the page you're hosting.
4) Then look under the "Internet" tab and start "Internet Sharing".
5) Now it's time to look on the PPC2002 end.  Click on "Start --> 
"Settings".
6) Click on the "Connections" tab.
7*) I'm not sure if this is necessary.  Try skipping it, but if it 
doesn't work try it.  Click on the "Connections" icon and set 
everything to "Internet Settings". Click "OK" in the top right corner.
8) Click the "AvantGo Connect" icon.  Click "Sync all".

Works for me. I hope for you as well.

Joe Zobkiw, It works on both.

P.P.S. Hey mark/space, need any freelance work writing manuals?  ;-)
