Tethering A Touch

[Primenall]

So Mustang can you tether with the Internet Sharing with just PCS not PAM, like the mogul.
Plug USB only into laptop/pc

1. Open IE on Touch to start Data connection
2. Open Internet Sharing on Touch and leave it as USB and PCS and hit connect
3. Plug usb into Touch, wait a minute for PC to detect Touch and you're done.

If it doesn't connect first time, try again. This is on XP

Thanks.....

This worked for me. Make sure you change your Network Connection type to Sprint PCS. This also worked for me on my 6800.

That's good news, did you delete the Rilphone.dll Registry Entry to enable I.S. to connect by itself too?

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

You can get the free PHMregedit or the way better Resco just google either.

You have to be careful and keep track of what you change in case you want to change it back(besides that one you're going to do, as it's getting deleted, this time instead of changed)

Read a little about registry edits first if you want.

With PHM after you make a change wait a couple of minutes before reseting phone as the change doesn't always stick if you reset right away, for some reason.

You can also make a backup of your registry before making changes with those programs if you want to be extra safe.
