Re: Using Mogul as Modem

If you can't install Activesync, you will not be able to use Internet Sharing. If your work laptop has Bluetooth (which most don't) you can still try to use Internet Sharing via a Personal Area Network (PAN).

As companies typically restrict installing new hardware to Administrator accounts, you will probably not be able to use PDANet, USBModem, etc either. Those programs allow the phone to simulate being a simple dial-up modem, which of course is hardware that has to be installed.

Since you have a Mogul, your best bet would be to share your connection over WiFi. Virtually all laptops have Wifi, and it's *usually* not restricted. If the new version of PDANet allows sharing over WiFi, you can try that. I have no experience with it, so I'm going to recommend either WMWiFiRouter or ICSControl. WMWiFiRouter was freeware up until version .91, ICSControl remains free for the latest version. ICSControl has a lot of nice features, but it is more complicated to set up. WMWiFiRouter would probably be your best bet for a one click, simple setup. I can post version .91 if you'd like, or you can look into PDANet's WiFi capabilities.
