a way to disable usb internet sharing?

[tds]

I would like to have my Fuze connected to my laptop via the usb cable for charging and activesync, but use my phones wifi for internet.

Problem is anytime I connect the USB cable it drops my phones wifi connection and starts using my laptops internet connection, which is a pain while listening to streaming music and disconnecting often to run an errand. Ideally would like to keep activesync going to allow using mymobiler.

Thanks for any help.

I recalled that option on my Hermes, but it appears different on the TP. I don't have the "advanced network functionality option. Attached are the options I see under Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Only get options for ActiveSync and Disk Drive modes. Disk Drive mode disables activesync and hence MyMobiler.

I did a pretty extensive search using the the forum search option as well as site specific google with terms/combo's like usb, activesync, wifi, enable, internet connection, sharing,... but didn't find anything related to allowing phone wifi use while connected to a PC which is connected to the internet.

I have a Topaz and I experiened a similar problem - Internet Connection Sharing comes on automatically everytime I plug a USB cable between it and my computer, but I didn't activate it - the mode was supposed to be "Disk Drive Mode" on settings\connections\USB to PC, but there was no option to disable it either.

I had just found the solution -

1. with USB cable disconnected, select "Ask me first" on the USB to PC setup, click OK.

2. Connect USB cable to PC. The 3 choices come up from a HTC setup screen:

o Activesync

o Disk Drive

* Internet Connection Sharing

o Don't ask me again

DONE

QUICKLY click "Disk Drive" radio button AND check "Don't ask me again" AND click Done below it BEFORE internet connection sharing comes up. It will now stay in disk drive mode.

See if it works?
