USB modem connection error? Please help

[dbldwn02]

So I've been able to tether before and I went to go do it the other day and I get a "da da da" connection sound when I try to tether. Computer won't recognize the phone. I know I'm doing it right. I flashed to the latest NFS rom and still had the same problem. It works for Active Sync, but no dice on the modem side of things. I even tried a different cable.

Any ideas?

Can you use an internet connection sharing program on the sprint touch like you can on the Apache? I use the internet sharing on my apache once in a while and it doesn't require a PAM plan.
