TCP/IP USB cradle connection to Win2K Pro PC

Has anyone successfully set up a TCP/IP connection to their PC using the USB cradle? I am trying to get PalmVNC to work with no luck. In fact....I never get any of the cool stuff to work for that matter!
TIA,

Why would you want to setup TCP/IP using the USB cradle?

Why USB TCP/IP?

1. Trying to use Palm VNC
2. Corporate LAN access.

hmm. PalmVNC would be Virtual Network connection right?

I don't mean to sound rude or something but if you would want to establish a VNC with your palm would you think it would be more practical to implement this when you are using the palm device as a stand alone unit using a modem/wireless link(802.11,Bluetooth)? It would be much better if you access your corporate LAN through the PC in which the USB cradle is connected wouldn't it?

I actually tried to do this but to no avail i still can't get it to work. I've tried to study the concepts behind USB based networking. It seems to me that we would really need a special driver with that. Haven't tried writing one though. I wonder what others think about this concept.

I don't mean to butt in on your conversation, but I think TCP/IP(PPP) over USB is still a linux only thing, but it does work nicely especially with a USB cable. I believe all the stuff to do PPP over USB under linux is open source, but I believe the key stumbling block for Win2k is that it doesn't possess a sufficiently flexible PPP implementation.
