Hello all. Im new to this stuff and alot of what ive read is way over my head but i need some help. Ive read threads about tetherin and using the phone as a modem but on this touch pro they say go to start programs then internet sharing. Once in that ur suppose to see 2 boxes where u can select pc connection and network connection to connect to the internet through the phone. My problem is my phone does not have the network connection box is this normal or is my phone f'ed up?

not too sure. from looking at mine when i go the route you did i get a dropdown box that says pc connection:

options are usb and bluetooth pan.

for tethering, the easiest thing i found to do is to grab the internet sharing fix cab and install this. then use like wmwifirouter or something similar. i know wmwifirouter lets you connect via wifi, bluetooth, and usb to use your phone as a modem.

look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42730 under internet you'll find stuff your looking for.

also beware that if sprint does catch you doing this, they will charge you for it. hasn't happened to anyone that i know of but it can.
