Nothing has changed, but always remember two things. First of all, large amounts of data transfer might draw attention. Secondly, whenever you make changes to the registry, you need to wait a couple of minutes before doing a soft reset ... in order for the edits to stick. Here are the entries ...

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
@wmdunn, Yeah, I know sprint knows people are doing it, it just seems they're getting more vigilant about stopping it. On my last Diamond, the regedit didn't automatically revert back to sprints chosen settings when closing it (the editor, that is). btw, I've never had to wait a 'few minutes for my edits to stick'. Thanks, though, for the extra reg entries to check/change. never had to use em before, but will check em out.

The CMGuardian file can reset some reg values on the newer roms.
