In your case, the best is to use the third setting, so you don't mix
your intranet addresses and the ones for the network between your PC and
your iPAQ (yes, it is a separate network!).

Make sure you modified the "UPLINK_IF" variable in the "ipaqnet" script.

In your case, you should set "UPLINK_IF=eth0" to be able to access the
Internet through your Ethernet connection (unlike me, who has to put
"UPLINK_IF=ppp0" as I am connected to the Internet using PPP).

I will try to put this more explicitely in the next revision.
