I guessing that using "phone as modem" connection option tells sprint u r tethering, while using "sprint" connection tricks sprint into thinking ur just using internet on the device its self,

Well am i right or wrong?

I'm a little confused on this as well although it does sound like you do not want Sprint to know you are tethering. I have another question though...do you do this through Bluetooth or USB cable or does that not matter just so long as you are not using "phone as modem"?

Also, that last cab from violent23...it says QVGA....that's not really going to work on a Treo Pro is it?

It would probably work better than vga. If you want vga use this.

Someone explained it for me:
"On a stock ROM using Phone as Modem will result in the phone using your secondary (tethering) NAI. If you don't have the PAM option on your account, the secondary NAI will be denied login.

The "Sprint" profile uses the primary NAI and is the same login that is used by the phone's browser and other native net apps. "

Agreed.. no messy nonsense and it works right out of the box.

Well, I don't think I really want PDA.net. I have a friend who has it and although it works great, you can't have multiple laptops run with it if I understand that correctly.
I would jave been happy to pay Sprint a little extra every moth for this optioon that I probably would use only a coupel of times a year but they won't even offer it as an optionat all. So forget it, I get it for free elsewhere.
My question is do I use WMWifirouter,
the ICsenable cab,
XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab,
I'm thinking no here because it's VGA. or...

Internet Sharing 1.1.1.0.cab (182.1 KB, 1248 views) AL_CommManager_Suite_with_WifiSharing_1_1.CAB (2.89 MB, 1176 views)

WMWifiRouter works perfectly for me. Connects easily via USB, bluetooth, or WiFi.

----I DID THIS CAUSE IM SICK OF THE TERRIBLE HACKS OUT THERE...THIS IS FOR THE DUMMIES AND THE ONES WHO WANT TO BE 100% SURE ITS NOT "PHONE AS A MODEM" ITS "POWERVISION" BABY

I ended up with two lines the original one that states "Force Cell Connection" and a second that states "Force Cell Connection2".
When I delete the line that states "Force Cell Connection" all works well however if I do a soft reset both lines reappear. Is there a way to permanently delete the original line so that it will not return after a soft reset?
