Woah. You should take a few deep breaths.

First, the popup might not show for two reasons. There's a check box that says "always do this action" or something to that effect - if you check that box, you'll never see the popup again. I'm sure there's some registry setting or some way to get the popup back, but I honestly don't know the answer to that.

Second reason it won't show is for whatever reason (it is WinMo) the phone defaults back to the last thing it did even tho I did not check that box (I never do). Now if it's plugged in and shows a disk drive, that's annoying no popup - if I unplug and replug (safely remove before you unplug if it's mounted your SD as a disk) again for whatever reason this makes the popup show. So if it's defaulting to something else other than internet sharing, unplug/replug... Popup should show!!

Regardless you should be able to force it like he describes...

Now drink a beer, do what you gotta do and enjoy your tethered internets. The options are probably dependent on what ROM you're on, so if you don't see an Internet Sharing option, flash EnergyROM - whichever one, they all should have it. I honestly can't remember if the stock ROM has it or not - it might not...
