to circumvent this you will need delete some reg keys or install a cab (to do it for you)

here is another thread on enabling undetected tethering
and here is an article on the same subject that lists one of two keys that needs to be deleted,
for some reason this article fails to mention the extension key that, if found, should also be deleted.

I was able to tether for awhile and my Diamond said Sprint when connected. My question is........ if my Diamond already had these registry defaults built in, how were they able to be activated so to speak, so the Diamond now shows Phone as Modem. and I get the pop up message I described?Thanks for the tips btw.

Re: wm wifirouter question?

I'm a noob, so you can take this for what it's worth, but I called Sprint and talked to Tech Support. I asked them if the tethering trick was OK. I'm a Christian and not to big on doing illegal stuff. I described the hack and what it did. I told them I didn't want to break my terms of service and all that. I've read all the stuff on this about the controversy about this, and that's why I called them. Long story shoet, they said they didn't know anything about it, then said if it works, it's ok, I won't get charged, because I have unlimited data, AND since I have insurance, if it wrecks my phone, they'll replace it. I've used it for over a month with no additional charges.

Re: wm wifirouter question?

Since there are numerous threads discussing this very issue...I'm gonna close this one down and move it to the general Touch Pro forum.
