Installed the latest OMJ incarnation for VZW and I am getting an error when trying to tether and connect. I do like that I can use the VZAccess Manager as it has some other features that are useful, sometimes. The error is "There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device)."

On the phone in Comm Manager the selection for Modem Link is selected and set to Start. The screen does not do anything else and when I go into comm manager again it shows the modem link as off. Clicking it only brings up the Modem Link screen again and the Start is grayed out and the Stop is available making it look like it is on.

Current signal strength is EVDO with 2 bars.
Data connection with phone only works like a charm and GPS works great as well.

Any ideas?

EDIT: The Modem Link in Comm Manager is supposed to launch Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) but instead it launches a Start and Stop Modem utility that does not seem to do anything. Now if I launch ICS from the menu: Start -> Programs -> Internet Sharing the ICS program starts as usual. That way the tethered connection works. VZAccess Manager does not work with it though which is not a huge deal but just wonder a couple of things: What does the Modem Link in Comm Manager do? Can it be changed to actually work or changed to be like some others that actually says Internet Connection or Internet Connection Sharing? Is there any way to get VZAccess Manager to work? It is a convenient way to get data usage and some other features about your account.

Thanks, Robert
