I have the HTC Vogue from alltel, and I came across the same "Greyed Out" connect button as the poster above. Even though i'm having no issues with my active sync, it states that it is disconnected for internet sharing. Anyone have a solution for this?

Our problems are not exactly the same.
MY PROBLEM is I get the Phone to connect to the Router.....BUT NOT TO THE INTERNET.
It says Access: LOCAL only.
Normally when Im connected to the Internet....It usually shows at the bottom of the Screen THE TWO COMPUTERS WITH THE GLOBE.

I need help from ppl who have had SUCCESS connecting to the Internet to tell me:
A) If they have experienced a Similar Problem
and
B) What to do to get around it

Well I figured out what I was doing wrong on my own.
And I was finally able to Tether for the time on THURSDAY!!!!

Congrats GTbanna...it took me a lil while to get online myself.

HERE IS MY CURRENT PROBLEM WITH TETHERING:

I get bumped offline. Alot.
Usually like every 10-15 mins.
Sometimes I'm lucky and I can stay connected to the internet for like 20 mins.
I HAVE NEVER STAYED CONNECTED FOR LIKE AN HOUR STRAIGHT.

The Weird thing is when I get disconnected...MY NETWORK ICON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN STILL SHOWS ME AS CONNECTED!
The 2 Computers with the Globe stay on...but all my Page will go off line.

MY QUESTIONS

1.) Is that a Common problem that others have experienced?
Do I just have to accept as a by product of tethering that I will be Bumped offline every 15 mins?
Or
2) Is there an easy solution to this problem...Something I can fix easily.

(I'm using the Regular ROM the Touch came with. I downloaded the "Internet Fix" Cab..........and I'm tethering to my Laptop which uses Windows Vista)
