Nope, i didnt have to change anything. Both of the devices worked right out of the box for me.

Whats the point of this registry edit? I assume its to prevent Sprint from noticing you are tethering without PAM because it works fine with USB Modem without editing this key. I guess hes recommending to delete the key so Sprint cant tell because its not required for it to work.

Clarification?

Well on the surface the entry appears to an attempt by Sprint to disable tethering in I.S. without having a PAM plan. From what little I know, the rilphone.dll manages the phone, evdo, and wifi connections among other things.

It in this case it prevents I.S. from initiating a data connection on it's own unless you have a PAM plan and set it to that......when you hit connect with I.S. set to pcs it won't dial into Sprint and connect.

It is a pretty lame attempt as all you have to do to get around it is have a data connection already going before you hit connect, which is easily done by opening IE on your phone first.

It may do other things as well like alerting Sprint that you are connected with I.S. or something like that, but I'm not sure as I'm just a novice, Luv2chill is the real expert

Edit..I tried this and got Error 67, Power Vision Username or Password may be incorrect. Anyone know what my username and password should be?

edit2: A soft reset fixed that problem..Mow USM Modem keeps disconnecting after a few seconds of being connected...

edit3: Disabled compression and all is good

Tried it with B/T yet? I know you got it but just incase others run into the same problem, phone number #777, no user name or password. Anyway, I use my current 6700 via b/t all the time but I just ordered the Touch which should be here next week.

Guys I tried this. I get a prompt to install RNDIS hardware. I insert the Sprint CD that came with my Touch but it says install unsuccessful. The I.S. sharing connects but when I connect my Touch via USB nothing happens. I reset my Touch and same thing... Any suggestions?

You need activesync installed as it installs the needed Drivers, download A.S from M.S. or just google and find it, unless you're using Vista .

ICS over BT worked for me on both the Mogul and the Touch out of the box. No changes to anything other than me opening PIE first, and selecting PCS...

Plug USB only into laptop/pc

1. Open IE on Touch to start Data connection
2. Open I.S. and leave it as USB and PCS and hit connect
3. Plug usb into Touch

Thanks.....

I tried this method and it works! Thanks! Question though - I'm new to all of this stuff and just bought a Touch on Sprint's SERO plan. If I use this method, they will not bill me for the data transfer, correct? They only bill if you're using PAM? I read somewhere that you need the PDAnet software to make your device "invisible" from Sprint's network so that it can't detect you running PAM. Is that something different?

I just want to use my Touch as a modem (on occasion) with my SERO plan...without paying for it of course. Is the method described above the best way to do this?

Yep no charges with sero unlimited data going on a year now (6700-mogul-touch), sometimes I've dl 20-30 gigs a month sometimes not even 1 gig.

You should delete this entry from the following link out of the registry, and it will eliminate step 1 and allow I.S. to dial up a data connection on it's own without having to op IE first.

or just rename the filename. I renamed mine to "rilphone.dll1" from "rilphone.dll" and it works fine

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="rilphone.dll"
