Help! Looking for best wireless networking solution
Hi,

I'm not really 100% new to my Axim, but new enough to not know about Bluetooth, WiFi and all that jazz. Basically, I want to be able to get my e-mail and browse the web and such on my axim wirelessly and conveniently without having to hook it to my slow cell phone connection or an actual 10-base-T cable.
What I'd ultimatley like to do is be able to have 3 things (if possible).
#1 I'd like to be able to hook up wirelessly in my house. Currently I have a linksys 4 port router (non wireless) that hooks up to my home networks DSL modem, and has 2 computers on the network (laptop, and main PC). I'd like to be able to utilize my axim on this network without having to put it in the sync cradle or anything and basically be able to go anywhere in my house or maybe outside on the porch or something and sip a cup of java while checking e-mail, browsing stocks, and such.
#2 I'd like to be able to come to work (military base) and be able to use my axim on the network somehow, and get my e-mails and appointments off my Outlook without physically having a connection through a cradle or sync wire or anything. It would ULITMATLEY be nice if I could go anywhere while on base and use my axim with the network for work, and send my e-mails and all... but I doubt they have any wireless conenction set up, and I have no idea (or if it's even legal) to be floating around on the network with my axim. So if there is a way to be able to walk around and have my connection, it would need somewhat incogneto (something where I wouldn't have to go to a server room or anything and make a bunch of changes to the network or anything... that would suck ).
#3 Finally, I'd like the ability to be in my SUV driving up to Chicago (my relatives and parental units live in that area) and be able to get my work e-mail or browse the web and stocks while driving in the car. My work e-mail is accessible through a Secure Socket Layer connection (https://) so I'm not even sure if the AXIM can utilize that or not.

Now here's the real kicker... seeing as how I don't feel like spending an arm and a leg on accessories, or pay some outrageous fee from some wireless internet provider... How can I basically get the most bang for my buck? What hardware will I need, what are my options? Do I need different types of cards that I'll have to interchange to accomplish all of this? Any help would be AWESOME! Let me know! Thanks!

OH yea, I forgot to add I also have a Sprint Sanyo SCP-8100 phone, if that helps figure out some solutions or something. Let me know! Thanks!
