Internet sharing with work network to get to blocked websites

[Success100]

i think it can be done, but just remember you are on a corporate server and youll probably need administator priveleges to change anything thats server side enforced...

secondly, any changes that you do change, the system admin CAN see that changes are being made on your terminal.

I would just bring a laptop in or somin like that.

I bring my laptop to work to listen to music and also to access sites via Internet sharing like myspace, and youtube, which are of course blocked.

Im not sure what "wireless modem" app he's referring to.

I dont know if there is a way to make your computer see your phone as a dial up connection.

I remember seeing somewhere on my old xp machine, but have no clue where it was or if it worked

I'm giving it a go now. It seems somewhat promising.

No luck so far. I did all the steps but this one confuses me as I don't see the Phone as Modem as a radio button option.

Setting PAM (Phone As Modem) as the default dial-up connection

1. Go to Start->Settings->"Connections" tab
2. Select the "Connections" applet
3. On the "Tasks" tab, select "Manage existing connections"
4. On the "Modem" tab, make sure the "Phone as Modem" radio button is selected
5. Press "OK" to save your changes

henderJ,

Does the connection show up as SprintPCS dialing #777? If it does, then dont bother with this step. Just follow the rest and you should be good to go.

Yes it does but when I try to connect from my pc it doesn't work . It shows it's connected with the driver in network connections but that's all it does. I'm going to try it on my laptop and see if I get different results.

Thanks for the help.

Im hoping it all works for you. IF you followed the instructions exactly, and Windows XP detected the HTC Modem Driver, and you setup a a new dialup connection with #777, you should be good.

No such luck. Followed the same instructions with both pcs. Only strange thing is it asks for two drivers when installing the modem software on the pc. So if I use the HTC USB Modem drivers the first time and then HTC Diagnostic Interface the second it likes them both. Both those folders are in the drivers folder.

After a reboot of my laptop it connected just fine! Now if I can get it to work exclusively with a browser at work so I can hit the blocked sites I'll be a happy camper. Thanks for the assistance.
