Just get in the habit of hitting the "thanks" button, whenever someone helps you. And, welcome ...

No worries!
I'm always glad to try to help.
I think you over thanked me now! lol
I just let my frustration show a little that's all.

HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing (delete “extension”)
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings
MaxCMConnectRetries = 0
ForceCellConnection = Sprint
HKLM\Software\OEM\WModem
CheckProfile = 0
Multi-NAI = 0
WModemDUN = 0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing
LastCellConnection = Sprint

Then you'll be good!

I just noticed that the reg edits were not sticking.

These 2 in particular will always change back to "PAM".

ForceCellConnection = Sprint
LastCellConnection = Sprint

All the others appear ok.
I have waited for a few minutes before restarting but no change.

Unfortunatly, I used the internet sharing yesterday while waiting at car dealership. This was before I noticed the reg edits not sticking.

I checked my internet usage on line and it has doubled.
(~30,000kb to ~60,000kb)
I have unlimited remaining.

Should I be worried?

First of all, I wouldn't worry about that little amount of usage. More importantly, we need to figure out why the reg edits didn't stick. When you say you waited a few minutes before restarting ... are you doing a soft reset after the edits? Here's my procedure ... do the reg edits, close the registry editor, wait at least 60 seconds, and do a soft reset.

here is my procedure ( 2 of them):

1.
make reg edit (using PHM)
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing

ForceCellConnection = “pam”

Change to SPRINT

Save

Click another value

Go back to ForceCellConnection..

And it still says “PAM”

Never have left PHM or reset.


2.
make reg edit (using PHM)
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing

ForceCellConnection = “pam”

Change to SPRINT

Wait 30sec
Close PHM
Wait30sec
Softreset


Check the registry

Still says “PAM”
