Is there a way I can connect to my home network remotely to get internet passthrough? Now that port 80 is closed I would like internet for chat programs, updating worldmate, etc. I can't justify $20/mo for Tmobile full internet for such a small amount of data. I may as well use comcast since I am paying for that.

I assumed you just need to browse the web from your phone.

Two ways to do this (that I know): bluetooth or placing the phone on the docking station.

Both require the computer to be up. And if the computer is up what's the point browsing the web from the phone anyways. You might as well using the computer.

When I am at home, I dock it to update weather, etc. I was hoping that I could set up a webserver on my home PC somehow and make a connection to access my home PC from the road to do the same thing. I have played around with it but can't get it to work. I have currently have T-zones, so I have access to port 110 and WAP. I think what I am trying to do is called port forwarding.
