I did the registry edits when the day I received my Diamond weeks ago, and tethering still works on both my XP laptop and my Vista 32 desktop. Like other folks mentioned earlier, once you initiate Internet Sharing on the Diamond, and connect via USB to the laptop/desktop, Vista/XP mounts the Diamond like another network adapter....nothing else on the laptop/desktop is needed.

I'm tethered to my Vista 32 desktop as I enter this post.

That's terrible about the battery. Wonder if we can adjust something to fix that.

Maybe a new Cab will come out on here for 64 users.

i tried it on xp, no go

Why would people manually do reg edits when they can just install the cab from page 1?
It worked for me out of the box, dont understand the mass confusion or the editing of regs being done.

Well I dont know what I did wrong but I am just going to break down and get a wireless card since this phone doesnt want to let me tether with USB. This is by far the worst experience I have ever had tethering a phone. I thought it would be easier this time around considering that it has Windows Mobile on it.

Did anyone get charged for tethering by Sprint using the cab from post #1?

Edit: I couldn't wait for the answer anymore but to install the cab and use it on my win xp dell laptop. After a soft reset and connect to my laptop, it works instantly without any issue. I guess I will find out myself if Sprint is going to bill me or not. Thank you.

Mr.Monkee, Please tell the forum which phone, carrier, cab you used, operating system and method you used to connect to the internet with what software etc.. You must be missing a step as I have used both cabs with and without backlight tweak on a Sprint Diamond and on a Sprint Pro with no issues. =D> So I know we can help you figure out how to tether.

oh man sorry for the late reply but here is my problem:

I can connect with BT just fine but with the USB connection nothing happens except that there is a NDIS connection that is created but it gives me no internet connection. I used the backlight and the non back light cab and it was the same thing for both. I have also tried to get it to work on 32-bit and 64-bit Vista. Is there anyway that I can just reverse the settings of the cab and start from there? Maybe I didnt even need the cab as some users have reported.

Thanks for the help.

Btw, I was able to tether through USB with PDANet but it drained the heck out of my battery and the charge couldnt keep up. Maybe PDANet jacked something up, who knows...


Here is a pic of what I am talking about, the 2nd connection called "Local Area Connection 3" Remote RNDIS...:

Hi,i am pretty sure that lots off people will help You step by step instruction if You let them know whats going on exactly...Another option -get Pdanet from June fabrics.com.
Both ways are cheaper than pay 40-50$ for card evry month...

Just wondering, are you guys (the ones that are not getting a connection) going into the phones programs list & turning on internet sharing. You must do this before the phone will connect. Hit the start menu & go to programs & find the icon that says internet sharing. Select it & touch connect. Your computer will then notice it as a modem. I don't know if it will work on 64bit. Don't forget to say thank you!!!
