Tethering A Touch

[nowise]

I find that opening the weather button is a little quicker than going into IE

ok great... geez i just bough a usb aircard had i know this i would have never bought it. thats going back tomorrow... one more question. would tethering some how make my active sync not work. all the sudden my phone wont sync...

I myself use PDA Net. A one time charge of $29.99. If you use PAM, Phone as Modem, sprint can come back and charge for their PAM plan $29.99. I think back with my 6700 I tried pam, casual usage was fine but whenever I tried to download a file, their system kept kicking me off.

And no troubles activesyncing with PDANet running!

I'm having a pain in the arse time connecting with my Macbook Pro. It works about 10% of the time, and I usually have to repair the device in order to join its network.

Just thought I'd share:

I just traded my Mogul for the Touch. When I had the Mog', I did the "start IE, start IS, plug USB" and got an error 67. Didn't do it too much.. after about 4 tries, I gave up. Knowing that, I was expecting the Touch would do the same, but it didn't. It went right onto the net. Couple that with EVDO and you get a pretty good speed. Thanks guys!

Not sure but it should go in a couple simple steps. In case you haven't done the reg edit to allow IS to connect itself, the first thing to do before any thing is plugged in, make sure you have a data connection open by starting Opera, IE etc......
1. Start data connection (open Weather, Opera etc...)
2. Plug usb into PC only
3. Open I.S. and hit connect
4. Plug other end of usb into phone.....wait....and Surf

You can watch on your PC what is happening to troubleshoot, go to START/CONTROL PANEL/NETWORK AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS/NETWORK CONNECTIONS/
Now as soon as you plug the usb into phone you should see a connection POP UP and it should say aquiring address then switch to connected when ready.

If it doesn't do that hit dissconnect in I.S. then unplug and hit connect again and plug usb back in phone.

If that doesn't work try anything you can like maybe switching USB ports on PC or when hooked up..... on the Network connections screen on PC highlight your connection and click "change firewall settings" turn it off just to check if that will let it work.
