You're tethering via ICS on a computer that you never installed activesync on? How? What OS are you using on your computer you're tethering with? And what connection method? USB? BT?

I think what he meant was......if you start ICS 1st, then tether to your pc, Activesync will not go through the sync process, it just goes straight Internet sharing

Yeah, but suppose I want to tether with a different computer like a friend's laptop, and I'd rather not install activesync on their computer?

ICS without Activesync would be great.

i dont have any issues with this, i have activesync disabled from startup programs and it runs just fine on all the pcs i commonly use, which are home, work and laptop. i use bluetooth theter at work most of the time but right now im using usb.
at least i thx you for getting the drivers out of it, i was thinking the same thing few days ago.

Activesync may be disabled, but it's still installed, yes activesync does not need to be running, but when it's installed the necessay drivers & such are installed to allow ICS to work.

This is EXACTLY what the first post says and help to do. You do not need ActiveSync. Read the first post.

i think what the person is trying to say, is that if they went to a friends house that didnt have the internet, it would be nice to just sync up with bluetooth/usb and teather on the spot, unless you carried these files on the phone with you at all times. which for many im sure is an option, but i have a tiny 1GB card in my touch and that things almost full already :-p
