Re: wm wifirouter question?

I tried the wmwifirouter trial for 21 days and it worked great. I just paid the $29.99 to continue using it as my trial period ended. I used to use Internet Sharing and all was well until one day I saw the connection setting say Phone as Modem which is not good. The connection setting always said Sprint which is good. I thought I changed some settings by accident but after checking, I could not get my connection to say Sprint anymore. I assumed that Sprint did something systemwide to inhibit using Internet Sharing without it showing Phone as Modem. This was the reason I tried the wmwifirouter. I still don't know why the setting changed on my Diamond . It happened around a month ago. I have not tried Internet Sharing since so I will have a look to see what my setting says now.

EDIT:
When I change the connection from "Phone as Modem" to "Sprint," I get the following pop up: "The remote party has ended this connection," I have tried it multiple times now and before.
Seems that Sprint is forcing Phone as Modem when you Internet Share, at least in the situation I mentioned.
