What are the differences between this cab and the one at the beginning of this thread?

It has the backlight changes removed. Other than that its the same.

Thanks Darkness231.
But now I have a newbie question for anyone who can help.
I used to tether with my 6700 using a program for that.
I installed the Darkness231 cab onto my TP.
I connected by laptop.
Opened the Internet sharing and hit connect on my TP
Opened my Firefox browser and... nothing. No connection. Am I missing a step here?
My TP shows a message that says "Check USB cable connection".

Edit: OK it did not work on my laptop, but when I reconnected it to my PC (which has activesync installed) it wanted to work as I got a message about 2 networks. SO, do I need to have activesync installed on my laptop for this to tether to that laptop?

Yes. If your using windows XP you need activesync (for the drivers)
If your using Windows Vista, then you need WMDC (same reason)

and it will show as network adaptor, not a modem, in device manager...

Ok I am completey new so I need major help. I downloaded the zipfile to my phone in post 1. From there I don't know what to do or how to make it work on my TP. Can someone point me to a site with step by step instructions for dummies! Also and the registry edits... are those necessary or are they included in the download?

Yeah it would great if someone could clean up this thread and post a clean way of installing the CAB from Post #1 (or wherever) and then instructions on what to do. Would help prevent newbies from having to read through 9 pages and figure out what to do.

Anyone willing to do this for Good Karma?

This is not working for me. I have Windows Vista 64. It installed the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device," it connects over USB and shows that I have a "Local" connection, but it doesn't seem to be assigning a real IP address.

Extension=""
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
MaxCMConnectRetries="0"

can you tether using Wifi? using your phone as a router (TP)? i did this on my 6800 mogul w/ wmwifi router. i've tried it on my TP with some issues...

I tried WMWifiRouter .91 and it did not work. I'm getting the "Local only" connection and not getting a real IP address.

I am able to connect using PDAnet.

If I install the second cab file without the backlight & suspend settings will it reverse the changes from the first cab? or do I need to just hard reset and start over?
