Tethering Fix Right Here!

[ocbizlaw]

I'm a little confused about tethering. I've been using PDANet for about 6 months but use it only occasionally and never for heavy downloading. Only email and occassionaly viewing news website, UPS Tracking and checking hotmail and gmail accounts. I have Simply Everything and i've never been charged anything extra and I don't have the tethering plan. Does Sprint know what I'm doing and just haven't said anything or what?

Its worked great for years.

Now with the diamond, I tried (after installing this cab) turning on "internet sharing" and it says "check USB cable" on the phone, and my PC doesn't recognize the phone as a modem? I tried running the PPC6700 dialer and I get "remote error". I tried adding a dialup connection in control panel and again it doesn't show my diamond as a modem.

Sorry for my ignorance, but can anybody tell me how to set this up?

I also upgraded from a PPC 6700 and did exactly as "shcwartz" described on the Diamond. I then plugged the Dimaond into my PC/Laptop via USB. No extra steps or programs are required on the PC/Laptop. Just what "Schwartz" describes and the following registry changes:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension=""

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

Using my reg editor under
HKLM/COMM/INTERNETSHARING/ THE EXTENSION= "isext.dll". You're saying to delete this dll? then under settings change forcecellconnect to "sprint" right?

After reading the complete thread, I am a little confused. Is the consensus , that we first apply the zip from post 3 then do the reg edit.

"Just what "Schwartz" describes and the following registry changes:

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]

then "Using my reg editor under

or you can delete the force connect key as well, then you can choose which connection to use... Please somebody explain or refine
