phone as modem

[lobo4806]

is there anyway to hook up the mogul as a phone as modem with usb without having the phone as modem package thru sprint??

yeah. the info is all on here somewhere, but most people say it just works with nothing added... if not, worst case scenario is you may have to start you connection manually first by opening up a webpage, checking email, etc... on your device, THEN connecting it.

search for 'tethering' on this forum for some valuable threads on the topic. there is a registry key that you will need to remove in order to circumvent the error messages that can appear.

i'm pretty sure offhand that it is located here:

HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/

Delete the 'Extensions' key in this folder.

if you dont have a registry editing program, id suggest trying total commander. it's a great freeware app for many things other than just the registry. good luck!

I use dial up on my laptop, but when I got my mogul I used my phone as a modem and now when I try to use dial up it's giving me an error message saying modem not found......what im trying to say is it won't let me use dial up any more without searching for my phone's modem.....what can I do to resolve this problem??? help please and thank you.

well i tried the extension thing and all that regitry editing and it didnt work. so i found WMWifiRouter. created a ad hoc network on the laptop connected to the phone and this little program does the rest. its awesome. decent speed too.
