Option B: Through the Internet, connected directly to your PC or via a wired router:

If you have a PC with a broadband Internet connection, you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless network that connects to the SL50i.

To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network.

As an example we have included a chapter on page 38-42 of the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your Microsoft®Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is readily available on the market.

For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read the documentation that came with the software or with your operating system.

>After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or wired) network, you will be able to use the SL50i to access the Internet just like your computer.

Note: Additional wireless equipment not supplied with the SL50i.
