wireless adapter?

If you already have a wireless network in your house, you don't need to buy anything else to connect to the internet at home. Is that what you meant?

What you're talking about is called tethering.  Yes it's possible, but not with stock 2.1 unfortunately.

Is this a desktop or a laptop that you are trying to do this with?  If it's a desktop, there are wireless cards that you put into the computer that are cheaper than the USB dongles you can purchase.  If this is a laptop, my goodness, how old is it that it doesn't have wifi built in!

There is a app called easytether that I used to tether my Captivate to my laptop. Your internet speed will be very slow. If you have WiFi in your home you would be better off getting the USB adapter or a WiFi card for your computer.

I have high speed internet through my cable company and I get 250gb a month. With AT&T all I get is 5gb per month. It will be well worth the money to get a USB adapter or card for your computer for both speed and download limits.

The speed of the internet I can deal with on my phone but it would drive me crazy if my computer was that slow all the time.
