Tethering A Touch

BigDave187 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-03-2007, 10:05 AM

Is is possible to tether the touch to your desktop or notebook? I know that I could with my 6700, but I just want to make sure that you can do it with the touch before I go and grab one on Monday!

I use PdaNet and it works. The Touch also supports PAM without 3rd party software if you are paying for the PAM plan.

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.....

Honestly I didn't try, but that didn't work for me with my Mogul so I didn't even try with the Touch. I can try this evening if nobody else does before I get a chance.

Hey Mustang, let me know what you come up with. I truly appreciate your quick replies!

Does USB Modem work on Touch?

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

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?
