I've tried this 2 or 3 times and it seems to be repeatable. This keeps messing me up as I use static ip's on my lan. I haven't found a way to use static ip and keep cell data working.

UGH ME TOO, what ROM are you using?????

Right now Mighty 4.7, but I'm pretty sure it also happened on the stock Sprint ROM.

Are you positive?

Wow, it must be the Diamond then... my Touch Pro definitely does not do this..

I'm sure about the MR4.7; not 100% on the stock ROM. I'm on vzw; if that matters.

Somewhat of a solution found here

Yup, I saw that. Maybe the solution is to find a way to keep dns in auto but allow a static ip entry.

Error 67 interenet sharing MOD touch diamond



to enable internet sharing... IMPORTANT....
-call sprint and get your msl number just ask for it they'll give it to you(remember to write it down it is unique to your phone)
-put##3282# into your phone and a menu enter password number should come up, this is where you put your msl number in
-NOW.. edit you mobile IP.. select edit and choose mobile IP preferred.
-hit ok and your phone will soft reset..


Your going to need a Registry editor to unlock your phone so merry christmas.... ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ <-----go there

-after installing he editor connect your diamond to yor pc and choose active sync..
-your going to have to go to Tools>Unlock Registry so you can edit your phones ****..

-after that go to HKEY_local_Machine>software>OEM>WMODEM
-make sure all the values are set to 0.. this is your tethering detection, trust me you want it disabled..
-then go to Hkey_local_machine>comm>internetSharing>settings and delete FORCECELLCONNECTION
-This will allow you to connect to your Data connection
-when you are done with that soft reset your phone and install the zip file I attached to your phone


NOW your done Have fun.............---J7jman

heres another nice tool that should work for every one... a pop up menu that has the use phone as modem option.. not just the activesync and data connection

I had an Error Code 67. I called Sprint to get my MSL number. Logged in typing ##3282#, the active profile was already set to 1. But on the bottom under AAA Shared Secret the wording was wrong. Apparently that is a password, she gave me some password that I must of set up and presto! Internt started working.

Alternate Internet Fix (if nothing else helps):
1) Backup all data (contacts, etc) using a program like PIMBackup or something like that.
2) Flash back to the stock Sprint rom (in upgrade forums)
3) Do the ##RTN# (##786#) and enter your MSL.. then go to menu and reset.. hit ok and then ok again to reset the device.
*** just so you know this reset will keep your internal storage.. nothing on that directory will get deleted***
4) Let the stock sprint custimizations run.. after they are finished your phone should automatically soft reset and then your done!

ps.. if your data still isn't working make sure your active profile is set to 1 (##3282# menu)
NOTE: i didn't have to do this so you should'nt have to.. but just in case i think it's a good idea

so this is what worked for me after nothing else does.. for those of you who still can't get your data to work try this and let me know if it helps..

Thanks guys for sharing and helping..

ekker thanks for the tip. This is what ended up working for me. Some how i flubbed up my phone yesterday morning and data stopped working. Kept getting error code 67 messages. Was running a custom rom and tried to update the profile when all went screwy and lost my data capabilities. Found this thread and tried the rec from post number 1. That did not work. Before I saw your post I Flashed back to shipped and tried to update the profile. It did not update. I noticed that my user name under device information was either blank or something screwy. Called sprint and they said that their provisioning was down and would be backup in a couple hours. This was about 10 am. Well after many calls to sprint the time kept getting pushed back. 14 hours later I still did not have data. I flashed to stock rom and did what you suggested. All is working great. Thnx.
