I was able to do this also with internet sharing on the phone and ICS on the PC. Tether your phone to your PC. Make sure the PC can get to the internet. You can then bridge the wireless modem with a local area connection and share that through ICS. I was able to get this working with a PS3, a PC and a switch. ICS is not very reliable though.

I was told an Internet Access Point Router would be easier and more reliable to set up than a Wireless Router; why do you say ICS is not reliable? I have never tried it, I'm just curious. Thanks!

ICS is software based router. Once you disconnect your phone you would need to go back and setup the network bridge again. This method wouldn't require any sort of a router just a switch or crossover cable between the ethernet port on the PC and PS3.

I think I have HTC app your referring to, XDA Wifi internet sharing, if so this appears as AD HOC and not an access point.

That's what I thought! How could a rep for HTC be so ill-informed!? If it was able to create a true outgoing wifi access point, I could just hit connect, throw the Touch Pro 2 on the couch beside me, and get on Playstation Network and game the day away! Geeez... come on HTC, where's the hiring process?

Thanks for your help! I am going to try downloading the HDA HTC wifi app since HTC won't tell me how to download it myself; hopefully it works alright, because this whole 21-day trial thing with winmo wifi router is getting old, lol.

I've gone ahead and upload the install cab to the thread. If this is not ok someone please remove it and my apologies.

So I can't take advantage of this wifi sharing program? I just got my HTC Touch Pro 2 in the mail yesterday by the way!
