Think it is as follows, but would like clarification; 
Wireless enabled PC/Laptop - has Bluetooth adapted (USB prob).
Ipaq has Bluetooth adapter, so talks to PC. Therefore Ipaq surfs net through PC.
Is this correct? 
Alternatively, I 'presume' I could get this wifi card that connects directly into my wireless network. Or am I being thick again? If not, any recommendations for cards?
Thanks

Got a usb TDK bluetooth adaptor attatched to either pc or laptop
On the ipaq go into blue tooth manager -> new -> connect!
Down the bottom is active synch via bluetooth.
That's the one to set up, it talks you through how to do it.
Once it's done, just double click the activesynch shortcut in bluetooth manager and you're away browsing the web, chatting on msn, or irc
One thing I found, it associates the device name with the mac address of the BT adaptor.
So I first set it up on my laptop (arrakis) and then went and plugged the adaptor into my PC.
Couldn't understand why it was still finding arrakis and not caladan (pc) til I realised what it was up to. so I've renamed shortcut to activesynch with bluetooth.
You could go for a CF wifi card, or SD wifi cards (about £50+ from what I've seen) but I've got a 1GB CF card installed for my DVD's, and a 256MB SD card for programs etc. just seems daft if you can do the same with blue tooth. although wifi does have a greater range and speed
