Tethering A Touch

[BigDave187]

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.....

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?

Primenall: What program do I use to edit my registry please? Thanks!

I am using OMJ's 3.03.04.Generic.ustom ROM. After I connect my touch to the PC (WindowsXP) I simply use Programs->InternetSharing and my PC can access the internet.
