Re: Got phone as modem to work
 

I've gone as far as deleting the key from the registry but I used PHM RegEdit which is old as dirt but is free and still works. I'll try the connection when I get home but it's no longer stuck in the infinite connection loop it does when the key existed.

Anyone know if Sprint will charge for using this? Incidentally I found out yesterday that they'll be implementing a 5GB/mo limit on internet which isn't really a big deal for me since I wouldn't get to that on any month but thought I'd mention it.

Yep, worked great once I switched to USB.

Also remember that when you want to delete a key it's usually easier and better to just rename it. It works just as well, and you can undo it much easier.

I wish I could get some form of it working natively on my mac. It works great over USB in parallels windows xp though.

This very thing worked to get my touch to tether to my linux machines. However I too am not getting it to work on the Treo. Before, I'd attach my touch and it would connect right away. Nothing special needed to be done.

I haven't tried making the connection is windows yet, but I will to rule out it being linux.

EDIT: Verified it's an issue in windows as well... I'm probably going to do a hard reset just to see.

some have said that you should establish a connection through internet explorer, then try to connect through internet sharing

Re: Got phone as modem to work
 

Still nothing after a hard reset and doing the reg edit again.....

Seems pretty darned close though I was in 2 totally different locations for each test.

It shows connected but I can't get to the internet. Do I have to dial out a certain phone number.
