I am having a problem with Internet Sharing on the O2 network in the UK. This used to work with Orange with the same handset, but a different ROM. I am currently using Miri v28 but am considering whether to move to the latest v34. Is it likely to be a problem with the ROM? When Internet Sharing starts, it seems to get a connection to the network OK, but the laptop does not get an IP address - "This connection has limited or no connectivity". I have spoken to O2 who have advised to speak to HTC as the phone does not have a problem with connecting to their network.
Has anyone got any ideas?
P.S. The phone appears in Device Manager (in the Laptop running XP) as "Windows Mobile Internet Sharing Device" and there do not appear to be any problems with this in Device Manager.
Thanks!

could be the ROM, ICS works with my o2 phone. try disabling any other network devices on your PC an see if that makes any difference. its worth noting tho that using a mobile with ICS makes your PC view websites like a mobile, it can be quite enoying.
