Vista tethering weird question...

[Success100]

Yo guys, weird question...

As some of u may know I have problems tethering my mogul to my new vista notebook. Something in my computer is disconnecting my connection after about 1-5 minutes of tethering. I tried my phone on my buddies vista notebook and it worked fine.

My question is, Vista sees the mogul as a LAN cable. I know this is normal once internet sharing is turned on, but is there a way to trick the computer into thinking its maybe, a WAN OR WWAN device.? Ive checked firewalls and all that nonsense, but im thinking if i can make my notebook think this is a different type of connection, then maybe I can get it to work, kinda far-fetched, but i cant figure this out for the life of me.
