Debunking the Multi-NAI Myth

So, does this imply that you could have a PAM account with a simple DNS hack?

EDIT: Oops, no, since that is the user id, that wouldn't be a DNS hack.

I just tried this for you and i get the error 67.
I also tried it with a data connection established and got the same error.

perhaps i need to reset before trying with the connection.

I've never tried to connect to ICS without an existing Vision connection. I'm practically always connected due to other apps. Since I'm already connected I've never had an authentication error with ICS.

I have some questions, and if this is the wrong post I apologize, but it applies to a question that I have ask Sprint (on their worthless *2 talk helpline and in the store, and did not get a clear answer). I have a PPC-6700, through Sprint, I downloaded sprint mobile broadband and connected my phone. I did not buy a PAM account, I do have unlimited internet access on my phone.

My Questions are:

What is the charge per kb?

I read that the PPC-6700 can teather without charges or a PAM, is this true?

Is there a charge from Sprint if I use PDAnet?

Thanks for any help.

OK I've poked into things a bit more and yes it seems Sprint is up to no good in regards to tethering. Those of you running Sprint ROMs should remove the following registry value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="rilphone.dll"

Usual caveats about editing the registry apply here--don't do this unless you know how.

Can you elaborate on what this value does?

Holy shit LUV! You are incredible! That fixed things up in a flash

No more clicking on PIE to start the connection first! YAY! It dials right in now without a quarrel. Thank you very much for that fix!

So this RILphone file (assuming its something along the lines of Radio Interface Layer?) has something to do with how the cellular radio communicates with the rest of the device then... Funny that a specific call has to be made through the registry in order to invoke the error code when dialing through ICS.

I would explain this and get input before suggesting an unknown reg hack so we don't have another one to debunk.

Also, is this a hack simply to solve the error 67, or is this also something you suspect might have something to do with tethering detection?

Thanks Luv2chill, tested and as Krayziepop said, IS will now initiate the data connection itself.

Just hit connect.
