Re: Using Mogul as Modem

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.
Can you the post the version of WMWiFiRouter if that is allowed? Thanks! I was thinking WiFi might be best since if others have laptops, they could use the signal also.

For any of this, are registry changes needed? It was mentioned above.
