Tethering Touch with WM6.1. Step by Step instructions

[wm_ftw]

I just wanted to jump in just retyped the directions (with an update on the .DLL name).

Only two things are needed:

1. Delete [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] "Extension"="rilphone.dll" (Note: it might be called "isext.dll" in newer Sprint builds, that's what I had. It's the same thing as rilphone...)

2. Change the value of the "ForceCellConnection" key in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings] to "Sprint PCS" from "Phone as Modem".

Worked like a charm.

Anyone know what I should do to make my rom tethering safe for Bell Mobility? I built a rom using the ppckitchen and then went to these registries and did not find them. I don't know if the rom is tethering safe and what Bell uses to detect tethering. Has anyone made any registry edits to make it tethering safe with Bell Mobility?

Using CERegEditor I navigate to the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] and I try deleting the string "Extension"="isext.dll" but it gives me an error "Cannot delete value. Try again."
Is there a trick to doing this?
Thanks.

Update. Unlocking the registry did the trick. Now Internet Sharing is working. Thanks a lot guys.

Okay, go to sounds and notifications and navigate to connection established notification. Make sure the box is checked to show message on screen.
Then click ok and go back to your today screen. Then push and hold the red end key to turn off your radio. Wait a min. Then push and hold the end key again to turn radio back on.
Then start your phone's browser like opera, IE, or skyfire and note what it says in the bubble. That is what the forcecellconnection should be set to.
