Re: Data Connection says "Phone as Modem"

while my assumption was wrong, the connections are still both the same config in network connection.
its just that the Phone as Modem connection is hidden, from the n0rmal view at least
if you try to create a new connection and name it Phone as Modem, it will tell you it already exists
but like m3Jorge said, just make sure u delete the "extention" in the reg

Install a registry editor of your choice. Pocket Hack Master's (PHM's) RegEdit is what I and many others use. Use the registry editor to remove (delete) the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] "Extension"="rilphone.dll"
