You need to set up your desktop to do forwarding and masquerading for
the iPAQ. Something like this (see the archives of this list and the
Familiar list for many other postings on this subject)

# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $IPAQIP -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQUERADE
# iptables -I FORWARD -s $IPAQIP/32 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -I FORWARD -d $IPAQIP/32 -j ACCEPT
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

where $IPAQIP is your iPAQ's IP address. You also need a "gateway" line
with the desktop's IP address in your iPAQ's /etc/network/interfaces
file's usbf section.
