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.

Worked for me on Sprint Touch Pro 2

anyone?

OK, I checked a few more things...I still don't get it. Would REALLY appreciate someone's help!

1) Is the hotfix included in the ICS and WModem cab in Mighty's post? If So OK

2) If it is not...

a) Can someone that has not installed either of these 2 files tell me if they have a IntShr.exe in their windows directory? I did not stock...

b) The Hotfix cab only has the IntShr.exe in it - there is no links created or reg modifications...so when you click the Internet Sharing link in All Programs it is calling IntShrUI.exe (if the hotfix IntShr.exe is in the ICS and WModem cab as IntShrUI.exe OK, I get it) ! So the hotfix cab installs a file but I would assume nobody is ever using it (unless you manually change the link and/or manually run the program).

Can anyone comment on this ???

The other thing I noticed, was the ICS and WModem cab tries to remove a bunch of reg entries from HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Wmodem

I noticed that (on my phone anyway) the values WModemDUN and Connected cannot be deleted (they come back after a soft reset) both with a value of 0 (which is the stock setting).

Thanks,
Ryan

From what I gather the internet sharing program that will cause you to get bills is around 30k in size and the safe one is around 20k.

I'm at:

No extra charges yet, will let you know if I do.
I'm on Verizon

First post updated. And thanks for the info on the bills, guys. Keep it coming.

At this point, I think it's pretty safe to say Telus users are at risk of getting charged for stealth tethering.

sorry to say, but I don't think this an isolated issue!

I can tell you I had 1 gig on Sprint NON tethering and I received no extra charges. Sprint SERO $30/mo

Read the OP, half you guys aren't even with Telus! Telus users are the ones getting hit by this the most! Look at Mighty, look at mine in post 38!

well the main problem is that the title does not state TELUS only. that's why most people freaked. including me. i hope i'm safe with sprint also, even though i know i should not worry
