I have an old O2 usb dongle stick for internet. Can I use an O2 hotshot modem along with the O2 USB stick and make my old PC a wi-fi receiver.

Please don't double post with the same problem.

The answer is No. However if you purchase something like this:

You can then easily add your pc to a wifi network. Get a long USB extension chord too and it will give you positioning options.

Thanks for link
