How to use my Mogul internet access on my laptop with Vista?

make sure your active sync is not set to auto start when you connect the usb cable. i have had an issue of it wanting to start the active sync while i am on line and thus canceling my connection to the internet. it was a vicious circle untill i figured out the sync problem.

Well, on the vista they changed active sync to windows mobile device center and the options are a little different. I don't know how to disable the active sync/wmdc automatic connection. There is one other option which is "automatic authentification" Can someone explain what this is and what it does? I tried to disable that option but my laptop still did not work with my mogul. Thanks in advance.

make it a wifi hotspot.

wow, you guys have to do a lot to get it to work... i just plug the phone into my laptop, wait for mobile device centre to pick it up and connect through the internet sharing app on the phone... i've used over 500MB data in the past month and my total charge for it... 19 cents. The charge was only because i happened to connect briefly while roaming before turning the unit off.

zkoffey's method works perfectly

i was going to suggest the none tethering wifi method, but this one is way simpler, cheers!

@rawr, 500mbs is a lot, ur not afraid of sprint catching you i guess lol

It worked for me. Disconned from my home wireless network. Turned off auto sync. Open IE on mogul and went to google.com. Opened Internet Sharing and selected Sprint PCS, waited 15 seconds and then connected my laptop.
