Internet Sharing in Stealth Mode

[mikedboyd]

From using other HTC WinMo devices, I've learned to install 'stealth' mode Internet Sharing cabs, for USB to PC Internet Sharing. Can I assume that is also required for the stock Diamond ROM, and if so, where can I find that cab?

thanks

No need to install a cab.
Just make these reg edits:

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!

Once this is done, does it matter how you launch the internet sharing?

Examples: checkbox when you first hook up the USB connection or the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) program directly.

thanks

The first edit deletes the file which Sprint put in the registry to monitor tethering. Simply delete it. As for using the internet sharing app ... nothing special required. Hit the icon ... select whether you want to use USB or BT ... connect. If you're using USB, it will tell you to check your cable ... connect to laptop ... done.

these edit are all done already on most the custom roms right?

Exactly!
Just as wmdunn said, you can run ICS any way you want.
In the first edit you just delete the value or extension at that key.
BTW I did find a cab that another user made but along with those edits he put in several others to keep his device from going into low power mode which aren't necessary. Better to do the edits yourself. IMO

They probably are but you can always check and do them yourself.

I'm putting this in a .reg file. It's all working except the key delete. I'm ending up with extension equal to '-' when the '-' is supposed to delete the value, I think. Here's my entries:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Sprint"
"MaxCMConnectRetries"=dword:00000000
[HKLM\Software\OEM\WModem]
"CheckProfile"=dword:00000000
"Multi-NAI"=dword:00000000
"WModemDUN"=dword:00000000
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing]
"LastCellConnection"="Sprint"

Well, actually you just need to navigate with your reg editor to:
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing

Then click and hold down with your stylus on the value that shows up under internet sharing and just select delete or clear. It will probably ask you if you want to delete it and select yes.
I use and recommend PHM Reg Editor for doing the edits. It's free and available in the WinMo software forum here. Any regeditor should work though.
