I followed all the steps mentioned and it works for me just fine. Only complaint is the speed 650/165 max but that is not our issue

it is sprint coverage.

I was able to Edit a setting that corresponded to my IP. It was initially set to Mobile IP Only and I change it to Mobile IP Preferred. I also changed the 3 keys in HKLM>Software>OEM>WMODEM all to 0 (disabled) so they couldn't detect tethering (Multi-NAI).

Now I can connect via Phone As Modem (which I wasn't able to do before) and getting 1.5 Mbps speed when I tether in Internet Sharing.

Let me know if anyone else has done/can do this. Do you think they're gonna fnd out and charge me? I don't see how they can and I can always just say that I really used the data on my phone.

What if i only did multi-nai, cause once i do the others, i start getting that error again, do you think that its safe enough?

Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread. I just successfully tethered as per the instructions here and with PDAnet 1.8 on my very first attempt tethering with my Mogul. It took all but 15 minutes to due and than included 6 minutes to back up my phone first!!!

I must be blind because when I get to this point I don't see the option "internet sharing". I start up ie on my phone and it connects and then what? I have my home page on my phone set to my gmail account. I've looked everywhere for the "internet sharing" option to no avail. What am I missing. I thought of my self as somewhat savvy when it come to these things, but this is making feel like a real neub!

It is easy to miss the first time, because you would think it is in the connections section of the Settings., but in the infinite wisdom of....MS HTC, or Sprint...they put it under Programs (probably because technically that is what you doing next, is running a program to make the connection with your laptop / desktop).

Thanks, folks, for this thread! I, too, am tethering. Funny how you don't have to create any connections on your pc. It just exists as an internet connection. Sort of like an ethernet connection. I really like this. No PDANet or USB Modem or anything, but this procedure. Pretty cool. Has anyone had any luck with bluetooth without PDANet or USB Modem? Hasn't worked for me, yet.

Just answered my own question. I went to the laptop and joined the Mogul's BT PAN through the bt stack. Working great! 472 down and 94 up with almost no signal.

where's the emoticon of hand smacking self on the forehead?

and with this answer i am now posting on my laptop instead of my mogul. i just want to thank everyone for finding this out. i really didn't want to use another program like pdanet or such. i came from a samsung 610 with the NIA disabled and was missing the ability to quickly get on the net using my phone tethered to my laptop. i feel myself getting ever closer to getting the mogul just the way i want it. of course by then i'll have to get a new phone

if im on the sero plan would this affect my charges at all? and does this benefit the modem aspect of it only? or does this increase the speed i can download off my mogul..because i like to use myorb.com to watch movies from my pc but the dl speed is not as fast as i would like. so if this can help me watch movies without buffering then id try it.

Now it works but had to hard reset / reset the data services / re-provision.

Been there, done that like twice now. It happens kind of randomly, its weird because Sprint cannot seem to do anything with the line on their end until you Master Reset the phone...

Anyway, I am waiting patiently for somebody to figure out a way to just hit connect in ICS and have it work, without requiring site navigation through PIE to connect first... that is very annoying lol.
