how to use internet sharing

[luv2chill]

It doesn't make you or your customer or sprint employee manager friend liars per se. But you're misinformed.

The PPC6700 has been on the market now for sixteen months and if tethering was being enforced you would see a heck of a lot of commotion about it on the various message boards.

Sprint has always said that they reserve the right to disable Vision access for people who use it excessively (though there have never been any firm limits disclosed). They can assume you are tethering when they see gigabytes of traffic on your account (who would transfer that much to a handset) but they can't prove it.

If you have a Vision plan on your account then you will not be charged for usage--period. If your customers and sprint manager friend did not have a Vision plan then they could definitely see $300 and $1000 bills--but that's not because of tethering. It's because when your account doesn't have a Vision plan you get charged for casual usage, which is 3 cents per kb, whether you're using the phone itself or tethering.

This allows them to check for tethering. Not sure about sprint.

Does this mean if I change the Multi-NAI dword to 0, VZW won't be able to check for tethering?

What's the best way to avoid detection for VZW (other than keeping usage down)?

Can anyone confirm this works with Windows Vista also? I can't seem to get it to work.

Does Active Sync need to be installed, or is there a way around having to do this?

definitely need active sync, as that install the usb drivers for the phone modem.

Is there a package that contains just the drivers without the Full active Sync. I want to be able to just throw the drivers on my card and use the internet connection from basicly any computer without having to install Active Sync everywhere. If this does not exist I will see what I can figure out.
