for bare minimum:
you need to at least delete the extension key,
then you can either set the force connection key to sprint, or just delete it...

-or-

you can just install the cab from post #1

Tethering is using your phone as an Internet connection on your PC or usually a laptop. With Telus in Canada it is very expensive to do.

I'm not sure how it works with Sprint but they have found a way to not be charged. I assume they have some other plan with Sprint setup.

Thanks bro. Deleting the "extension" key worked. I can just click "connect" and attach via USB and the phone initiates the data connection without any issues. Works on both my desktop and laptop. I'm tethered as I post this reponse.

Thanks,
Richard

If this is all that needs to be done, can anyone confirm what the other reg edits are for???? DO they have anything to do with being charged or not?

If half the reg edits don't have anything to do with tethering, what do they have to do with? Thanks for the info ( and the cab).

see my prev post for the bare minimum...

Most of these arent needed to unblock the ability to tether without paying for phone as modem...

Here is a link to a similar cab but without the Control Panel, and CurrentControlSet stuff: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30265

Traditional Hack is:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint PCS"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0



Juicy Rom 2.1:
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="OEMAGW.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0


anyone one with Juicy ROM 2.1: what did you set your reg to for tethering?
