Tethering Fix Right Here!

[deddy777]

I had problems early on and the people in the forum helped me out. I have recently gone through a Sprint Touch, Diamond and have ended up with a Touch Pro. Both cabs have worked on all three phones. Below is a step by step with thanks to Schwartz, Anthrax, Puff, and foxnews. (If I left anyone out my apologies and feel free to correct this post for clarity or content)

First, you need to install Active sync (WMDC for vista) for the drivers.

(Make sure you have your USB cable plugged into the PC/Laptop)

Next, establish a data connection by opening PIE or Opera.

Then open Internet Sharing – you will see connect in the bottom left corner, click that and you will see “Check USB cable connection”.

Now is the time you actually connect your phone to the PC/Laptop via the USB cable.

Now you will be rewarded with Status “Connected” found in the top left corner.

Click on any browser on your PC/Laptop and you will be on the Internet. I have been using tethering for months and have never been charged for extra data.

I use Smartphone GPRS Traffic Monitor for Pocket PC found at http://www.efficasoft.com/gprsmonitor/index_ppc.html (I do not work for Efficasoft and have nothing to gain, however MODs if this needs to be deleted or edited feel free)

Is this only good for USB tethering or will it work for bluetooth tether as well?
