Tethering: Why so many different "Fixes" ???

[isdnmatt]

Use ICS_and_WModem_Fix.cab first, this will bring back the ICS icons in the start menu.

Then install Mr. X and MightyMike Tethering Tracking Hotfix.cab, this will replace your copy of ICS to one that cannot be tracked.

here is how i got mine to work. first i did just the reg edits as shown on tp1 essentials thread. worked until u soft resest. i forgot about cmguardian. then i installed calks cab. didnt do anything so i uninstalled. then i tried the ics wmodem fix cab. that broke something. cuz i just couldnt connect to the computer. i couldnt uninstall that. so i looked around and followed these steps:

Tethering - tested and works

1 - using file explorer go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs - delete internect connection sharing

2 install - ICS_and_WModem_Fix cab

3. using a regedit program

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

[HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
Flags = 4 (it's a DWORD Value. if it doesn't exist. you need to create it)

4 - soft reset
5 - Start the Internet Sharing application.
6 - Select Sprint under type of connection.
7 - Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
8 - Connect to the Laptop/PC via USB
9 - Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop.

-----------------
now everything works including bluetooth and 2 drop down menus on ICS as well as htc wifi router.

Boo Boo says first step is no longer needed but i did it and all is fine and i only need one ICS link.

judging from the size of calks cab and mr x's, i want to say they both do the same thing. but i havent compared them to be sure. hope this helps.

Whoopee! Thank you for posting! I found that all of the cabs I tried removed the BT PAN option so I "cleared data" which let me start over. Then I just did these two registry edits:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
Flags = 4 (it's a DWORD Value. if it doesn't exist. you need to create it) Yes I did need to add it.
After a couple soft resets it is still working!
