Highlight the cabfile then use the center circle botton on the Dpad (OK/Enter) to exectue.

Is there anything in the Username and Password area for you? Maybe that is whats keeping me from connecting.

No, there isn't. All you have to do is first go into PROGRAMS and HIGHLIGHT INTERNET SHARING. The screen will then show CONNECT on the lower left. Just click on CONNECT and in a few seconds the Upper Left part of the screen will show Status:
Connected
The screen will first flicker thru some stuff but will end up saying Connected.
Let me know how it goes.

I installed this cab on my phone with MightyRom 3.8. I can't get it to work on my laptop running Vista. The CONNECT on the lower left is greyed out. I cant connect using my USB cable either. Nothing is going on at all when press connect using the bluetooth or USB option. Any idea as to what is wrong?

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.

Hey there,

Also a noob with the tethering thing, and this question may be a stupid one considering the registery changes are probably specific to the sprint network. I'm actually with Telus in Canada, and I'm curious if the program in the first post would work with telus phones? if not, are there any tethering options for telus phones yet so we can avoid the tethering fee as well?

Thanks!

Same problem here...

Shouldnt it have already been enabled in MightyRom?

This actually fixed it for me...

"Actually, I figured it out. Well...someone else figured it out. I read the post that said that one of the changes the tethering.cab file makes to the windows mobile registry is it makes it look for a "Sprint" connection. By default my connection name (and probably yours too) is 'Sprint PCS'. SO...I just simply clicked EDIT and deleted the PCS portion so that my connection was named "Sprint" ONLY."

And yes, it was enabled on MightyRom, but I was a dummy and installed this .cab on accident while looking through the stuff I've dled.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why would a Telus user (MightyMike) enable Sprint tethering in his rom?

If you want a rom with Sprint tethering enabled by default, try grooveROM 3. Just plug a grooveROM 3 phone into your computer, press the internet sharing option, wait 15 or 20 seconds, and you're tethering. Done.
