There is a registry key named “ForceCellConnection” which is currently set to “Phone as Modem”. Change it to “Sprint PCS”</blockquote> I'm paying $15/mo for data. I am in the Chicago area now.

This was a cool feature that worked pretty well most of the time, at least in Austin Tx ... service in Arizona is/was always spotty. Even basic phone service is terrible in Az. :( Anyway, if you want this to work you have to add it to your plan even if you already have a data plan (and of course, follow all the steps from above -- worked for me using Ubuntu 8.04-9.04). Iirc, Sprint wants an extra $30/mo or so. But, feeling cheated I told Sprint where they could stick it and insisted they let me out of my contract, which to my surprise they did. Can't wait to find another carrier -- whoohoo! Sprint disabled the “free” phone-as-modem / internet sharing stuff that used to just work out of the box, as of around spring or early summer 2009.

I can connect my phone to my computer and ping the phone at 169.254.2.1, and the double arrows appear in place of "Ev". At this point I open Internet Sharing and click "Connect". The double arrows switch back to "Ev", my computer loses its IP address, and ICS says "Connected". Any ideas? Thanks!

Between my brother and I, we have 3 HTC devices running Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro with 3G/3.5G capabilities. In addition to my Mogul, my brother has the HTC Touch Cruise and Touch Diamond (both on 3.5G HSDPA networks in Taiwan). I just checked the Touch Cruise which runs WM6.1 Pro (CE OS 5.2.19965 Build 19965.1.2.3), its registry setting at My Device->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Comm->Internet Sharing->Setings is empty, but I'm still able to tether it with my same Ubuntu 8.10 setup (I am travelling in Asia right now with the Touch Cruise). I did a quick search on the term "CMMAXCONNECTIONS" but did not see any results returned. Is there a typo? I am sorry to say that I don't have more specific info to help you at this point, but I hope these discussions will benefit someone somewhere. Good luck.

I tried your tutorial but nothing happens. I don't have the registry values you indicated either. (I'm using WM 6.1) The only value I see is CMMAXCONNECTIONS or something like that. Any ideas? I'm also using Ubuntu Studio 8.10. Are there other steps I need to take? I have a PPC-6800 through Alltel. I tried your tutorial but nothing happens.
