tethering question

[bubbaflamm]

I just got a new touch pro today, and finally got it working right (the first person i talked to at sprint to activate it, messed some things up). now i'm trying to figure out tethering. I followed the instructions in post 3 of http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=59882 and am able to connect, but there are some changes from what i saw when i was connecting with my mogul.

on the mogul i had 2 drop-down menus in internet sharing: "PC Connection" and "Network Connection." the latter let me choose between sprint pcs and PAM. now on my touchpro there is only the "pc connection" menu. when i go menu>connection settings>advanced tab> select networks it shows as useing the "sprint" network (not sprint PCS).

is this working right, or am i going to be hit with huge usage charges? am i seeing what i am supposed to be seeing?

yup i use the sprint one or the data one...just make sure that you have unlimited data plan and you should have no problems...

cheers!!

so the loss of the second drop down menu is just he way it looks now, and if it says "sprint" as my network, i'm fine?
