You want to go trough a iPad proxy to get to a WiFi connection ? Why not just connect to WiFi with the PC ?

You could want to use the iPad as the client. Ie use an iPhone to give internet connection to the iPad. (I guess that what the GP meant)

Yeah, we almost have this working an know there is a huge demand for it. Still a few technical hurdles to solve though.
