It can be done. If you have WiFi already on the laptop, you just need to set up internet connection sharing (ICS) on it, get a WiFi CF card for the X5 and set them up in ad-hoc mode. I personally have never set up ICS and while I can tell by the number of posts about it, it can be tricky to get working, people have done it successfully with the Axim. The range on WiFi is theorectically up to 500 feet but realistically, you're probably looking at a couple of hundred feet. Check the links in some signature for some more details on setting up WiFi with a PPC.
