I have tried the wmwifi cab. I did the reg edits to run the phone as a modem. Ive done everything I could find online and I STILL get a disconect at around 10-20 minutes every single time. I have the latest rom and have tried with no 3rd party apps fresh. Does anyone know how or why this happens. As far as I know Sprint has no idea I am using the phone as a modem because of the reg edits. If they do still find out I should be able to fix that no?

"OK I've poked into things a bit more and yes it seems Sprint is up to no good in regards to tethering. Those of you running Sprint ROMs should remove the following registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="rilphone.dll"
Usual caveats about editing the registry apply here--don't do this unless you know how."
this is on ppcgeeks from a user named Luv2Chill...
you should take the time to search (ie. google, ppcgeeks.com, pdaphonehome.com, xda-developers.com) to find a solution to your problems...
i'm not certain if it matters as to the rom your using or whateva....but you should be connecting via SPRINT PCS (although PAM isn't a problem...it doesn't really matter)....use a regeditor like PHM Regedit and remove this key...soft reset...and you should be good to go...did this yesterday...after searching almost 5hrs for a solution to my tethering issues.

That reg edit is #1 and I have done it. Its not the problem. Its either something else in the rom or they are doing it on the Sprint end.
