Let us see if someone here can help me out with this problem - and I hope this is the right forum to post it in!
Anyway, here goes:
Someone mentioned to me that it is possible to turn your laptop - in my case an iBook running 10.4.11 - into a base station, thus creating a WiFi - but; without internet!
Why on earth I would want to do this?
Well, if I am going to buy an iPhone, it would be important to me to transfer illustrations I work with to have them sent to the publications I work for, also when I am in locations where I cannot connect to internet, neither throgh WiFi nor ADSL or dial up or anything. The phone will at least have Edge if no G3 is available, but since Bluetooth on it is so limited, one cannot transfer files to it, obviously. Neither can one use it as a modem for the iBook. It exists an application in App Store, with which one can transfer files, using WiFi. But what when there is no WiFi? Then the solution mentioned above, was mentioned to me, but so far I have not been able to find out how to do this, if it is feasible at all.
One could add the illustrations to iPhoto on the iBook, of course, and then sync it through USB, but I understand that the images are then downsized on the iPhone, like on iPods, and that wonʼt do, of course.
Well, I hope I was able to explain the situation and that someone can confirm that this is a way to go and explain how.
