i can confirm that i was not bill data tethering using internet sharing and disabling only NAI, i used it for the entire month from 8-4 monday to friday. no heavy downloading, just chatting and webbrowsing. sometimes i do get the 67 error code. but i only go to internet sharing press connect, (with out any cables connected to the cell) nothing happens, then i go to msn explore and it connects back to #777. it always works for me. i also been doing tethering using bluetooth with internet sharing , is not very stable cause i get disconnet alot.

I'm in tethering heaven, thanks to everyone here. Not sure why I waited so long to try this. I did the multi-NAI change and connect via bluetooth most of the time. I get the dreaded error 67 occasionally if I forget to click disconnect before actually disconnecting. Sometimes I get into a rapid-fire loop of sorts where the mogul is making multiple attempts to re-establish a data connection (and popping up mulitple error 67 notifications) so fast and repetitively that I can't seem to click disconnect quick enough. (probably resulting from the registry change to make EVDO always on). In any case, I've always been able to stop the onslaught of error 67s within 3 or 4 trys.

One issue I've noticed is the speed difference on bluetooth vs USB. After noticing some sluggishness, I ran several bandwidth tests today. I typically get ~650/120 on USB (same as the mogul by itself), but I'm only getting ~300/100 on bluetooth. Feels like dial-up. There's a fair amount of variability, but I ran enough tests to see a pretty clear pattern. Is this to be expected with bluetooth? Is this a continuation of the BT issues with this device? Is there perhaps some MTU/RWIN settings that would help optimize the tethering connection?

Thanks again for all the info here! Great forum.

Ive been having lots of problems the last few days with this. Was working fine, then suddenly I cant use it anymore. Keeps giving me the error 67. Then after it does that, it wont even let the phone itself connect to the web, and finally requried a full hard reset before IOTA would reprovision the service.

anyone else get " the remote party has disconnected" ? and a 67 error? i disabled NAI and i cant seem to connect

laptop won't display webpage
 

I did this and my phone says connected, but the web browser won't load a page, I normaly use a wireless network at home, disabled that but can't figure out how to connect to the network. Everything seems fine on the phone its the computer I'm having trouble with. Any help would be great.

posted too soon
 

sorry, it seems all works fine now... Thanks for the tips and tricks as I cross my fingers and hope my bill doesn't go up....

hi there nooby in da house,
thanks to all of you guys for all the info. Finally I got my 6800 connected to PC and writing this message.
I'm tethering with USB connection through PAM. To get it to work I had to use mini opera instead of IE. Hope it will help somebody.
I got Down 992kbps/up 144

Thanks all! Works great on mine. I also get the 67 if I don't click disconnect first, but a connect/disconnect in internet sharing while unhooked clears it up.

Just downloaded PDAnet 1.80 here: http://www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/

Up and running in 2 minutes after download. Works perfectly, on it right now. No tweaks needed.
