UPDATE
April 5, 2008 - v0.21 released.
ICS Control is a GUI front-end for Internet Connection Sharing, a component of Microsoft Windows Mobile. It can be configured to do a variety of things including sharing your cellular internet connection over an adhoc WiFi network.
Requirements: .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and Windows Mobile 5 or later with the IPNAT driver included (most WM6 builds have this built-in). The "Internet Sharing" application that some phones have is not required, but IPNAT is.
ICSControl is a single .exe file, included in the zip file below. You can place it directly in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ on your device and it will appear as an icon in Programs. Or you can place it elsewhere and create a shortcut.
Comments, bug reports, and requests are welcome.

More info on Internet Connection Sharing
ICS allows a private network (for example, an ad-hoc WiFi network) to access another network (for example, the internet) as long as the Windows Mobile device is connected to both networks. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common configurations of course would be:
Cellular to WiFi (probably the most common scenario, sharing internet access to a WiFi network)
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN
Cellular to USB
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.
Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the PC (neat, eh?)
Will this allow you to select the wifi adapter as well?

Yes. I guess I should point that out as that is probably what people want to do with it. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common ones of course would be:
Cellular to Wifi,
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN,
Cellular to USB.
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.

Will test this out when I get home tonight...will find out if Sprint noticed it later this month when the bill comes in
Wow! Sounds great. Downloading now.
This looks interesting. I am hoping this might help me get my phone connected to my laptop as a modem. I do not appear to have the ipnat.dll. Any suggestions?? TIA. AARMD

Transplanting ipnat.dll (and the necessary registry settings) from another device is possible but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to distribute it. I know, people do it all the time, and there is no reason for MS to care, but I'd still rather not be the one to do it.
I am using a Verizon 6800 with WM6 Pro and DCD 2.2.5 ROM installed by an acquaintance. I can find an ipnat file, but it is not listed as a .dll. It shows up with the Windows logo. Does this help at all? I am sorry, but I am somewhat new at all this. AARMD

That's it. File Explorer hides the extension.
Cool, this is working on my Alltel 6800. I have a laptop that had its internal wireless hosed, I am now posting using the HTC as a (very expensive) wireless card
Right now I am running through USB, I have to check it out and see if it works with bluetooth.

Hey, most wireless cards can't make phone calls Let me know if it works with bluetooth. Also when bridging like that using the DMZ option could be useful since there is only one USB client so all traffic should route to it. If you hit Refresh after your laptop is connected you should see a host entry in the DMZ dropdown, just choose the laptop's ip and then hit stop ics then start ics.
I couldn't get the WiFi to Bluetooth working, but this laptop has had ongoing bluetooth issues. I'll try it out on my MacBook Pro when I get back from vacation.
Yes, on vacation and still dorking around with the phone. The biggest challenge: finding where my girlfriend hid it after getting upset about where my attention has been focused.
Does using this program burn up you wireless minutes or do I need a special internet plan added to my account?

If you use it to share your internet access then you may be charged for your data usage depending on your service plan. If you don't have an unlimited data plan then you will be charged under most circumstances. On some older phone plans data usage is treated like phone minutes and nights and weekends are free.
I was talking to my sprint rep and they said if the phone is used as a modem then extra charges will be applied even though I have unlimited data. This program works around that?

I do not know how they determine whether you are tethering or not so I can't say for sure. But, seeing as how I've been using this myself quite a bit, I'll find out when I get my next bill from Sprint.
Changes in v0.11
- Added auto-dialing to Connection Manager destinations
- Added private interface IP setting
- Fixed bugs involving the up/down controls.

Wow, this is a great looking app, sort of like a free WMWifiRouter except free and much more powerful with tons of neat options. Keep up the great work, this app has real potential.
Have this program stopped working? I down loaded the file and try to open the exe. file but a window pops up saying the program have stopped working. Any ideas of what is going on? I am running windows vista if it helps any.

You need to run it on your PPC...
Hey all,
So I've got a small issue. I've got a Verizon XV6800 with the MR1 Rom WM6.1, Valhalla GPS server, 3.42.50 Radio.
Internet connection sharing is not working at this point. I've gone through the winmodem and internet connection sharing cab installs, registry edits, etc. None seem to help.
I previously had a ATT tilt 8925 and had no issues whatsoever tethering it to my mac by just pairing the phone, selecting to "Using a direct Higher speed connection to reach your ISP". Starting Internet Sharing on the phone, selecting Bluetooth PAN & the default data connection, then selecting connect. Then selecting "Connect to network" On the mac through the my phone listed in the bluetooth connections. That simple.
Having installed the "Internet Sharing" cab onto the phone. Internet sharing appears to work, but the phone does not advertise this service, like the ATT tilt did on ATT's network.
I've also tried a few registry edits, and used all variations of modem scripts, and got all the dialup info from verizon directly (so I know it was right ) but could not get dialup to work either. Usually not detecting a carrier, other times lockups.
I truely want to get the bluetooth-PAN working again as it did on my tilt. Anyone have this working on the MAc with a XV6800 on verizon?
i did have it working before. I'm wondering if you might be more successful with a custom rom. Verizon installs software (at least previous roms, I haven't tested the MR1 rom) that reverts reg edits and keeps it working like VzW wants it to. This could be causing problems. First check after a soft-reset to make sure your reg edits still exist.
Also I'm sure you've tried this be in Leopard's bluetooth setup delete the phone and try again. You need to select the type of device as any device in order for leopard to see it. Can you connect the device to your mac? Try that first. If you get a BT connection non-internet connection and you change your settings delete the phone and try again. I forget some of the setting I used. Also Engadget had a how to article for BT pan using the xv6700 and Tiger most of the information is still useful. It's a couple years old so you might have a hard time finding it.
Hope some of that helps.

As mentioned, I have tried a ton of different methods to try and use the data connection, from using dialup settings, to trying to get the Bluetooth Pan working. I've removed and re-paired the device from my mac, flashed roms, hacked away at the registry a ton of times. Nothing seems to give so far.
I've got one more suggestion, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794133&postcount=29
I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.

hey, ok great, i just downloaded the file, Just one question..
The file i downloaded has about a page of Reg Key changes, you didnt mention that in your "thngs to do"
Just want to see if i am to make all those changes or not.
thanks
So, your problem is in getting the internet connection to work and not connecting it to the mac, right? Does your mac recognize the phone as a modem?
If you're using MR1 I think you might need to hard reset and the soft reset right before the Verizon customizations run. You won't be able to run their apps but there won't be software to cripple the phone.
i have the same exact issue i have a new macbook pro and the bluetooth connects however the speed is slower then dial up it works perfectly however on bootcamp apple has to change the drivers
So more results.
I tried all the registry edits, (much easier with CD-Regedit so you can make the changes on your desktop) and now internet sharing does not even allow me to select a connection type, it had worked previously.
The only thing that was missing before I made the registry changes was that when I pair the phone, in the services listed, "Network Access Point" is not one of the listed services. My old phone has this service listed, and this is how I used it, where I started internet sharing on the phone, then selected the bluetooth device (phone) on the mac and selected: "Connect to Network) and it worked flawless.
Back to the drawing board. I'm going to try next to re-flash the MR1 rom and do as Cycomachead suggested and stop verizons customizations from happening.
bryanw17, what were the exact settings you used for dialup on the mac. The modem script used is probably the most important piece.
Number: #777
Username: Phonenumber (or [email protected]????)
Password: (We know this one, not sure if it's legal to post though)
Darn, I wish I could provide more help. It is indeed possible in Leopard, I had it going before I began flashing my phone - and I no longer have a data plan to test, otherwise I'd be using it a lot more!
aparently no one with a new macbook pro can get bluetooth pan to work. I have it connected however the drivers for the new macbook pro do not provide a good connection if you search the mac forums theyve been talking about it on there. I dont use a username n password however because i use the internet sharing app for the moment i am using wmwifirouter to connect online however my xv6800 doesnt charge at the same time for some reason so u can only use it till the battery dies
So some more results.
I installed ICS and all the registry edits. Then the internet Connection Sharing did not function at all. I verified the registry settings, all were fine. So no dice with me.
So back to the drawing board.
I installed a previous rom. DCD 3.2.6, and guess what? From initial flash of the phone and initial setup, no apps installed, no hacking, ICS runs and provides a network connection to my mac perfect. I also instantly notice when I pair it through bluetooth, it allows the option of "Access this device as a network port". And "Network Access point" is listed as an offered service.
I installed newer rom DCD 3.3.4, and the MR1 Rom. Neither have ICS installed initially. I can install the two files: intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe into the windows directory without any reg edits, and then ICS works on the phone, but then pairing the phone to the Mac, and attempting to discover teh PAN service is unsuccessful. It only is discovered as a Dialup Access device, and not a "Network Access Point".
So, It appears I can get internet Sharing via Bluetooth PAN to function on the phone no matter which rom, but have not figure out how to tell the mac, or trick the mac, into thinking the "Network Access Point" service is available.
I have pulled completed registry dumps with CE-Regedit and compared the differences between the two, which there are quite a few, but not sure how to export these differences with the program so I can apply them to the other roms registry. I guess I might try a fukll backup and then restore to the new(er) rom and cross my fingers.
I'd stay with the 3.2.6 rom. and 3.42.50 Radio, with PRI 2.03, but I can only seem to make the GPS function successfully with the MR1 stock verizon rom.
Anybody want to take the two regs files compare, and see if they can find out where we can make the change to have the phone advertise the service "Network Access Point" when being paired to the mac or PC?
On one last note. I also tried the method of restoring the MR1 official rom, and then not allowing the customizations. ICS will function, but again, not advertising the service: "Network Access Point" when pairing, so it's not recognized as a valid networking method.
Where did you get those files (intshare.dll and IntShrUI.exe) to allow ICS via bluetooth?
Nevermind, I found it on PPCGeeks.
Don't know why DCD disabled the BT DUN on ICS.
I use Missing sync, and I turned on PAN then added my phone and it shoed it as a modem when I added it, but my BT connection is fairly Unrealible compared to the USB teather on Bootcamp
i was under the impression that bt pan has been whacked on macbook pro models starting from early 2008 on. anything earlier than that and it seems to work great. does anyone know why bt pan doesnt work on the newer machines and how to get it to work?
I feel like I need to 1st explain that although I don't post here often I'm not an absolute noob. I load a new ROM about every 30 days and used Tierman before advancing to Sashimi. Ever since the 6.5 roms dropped I've been unable to see my Titan from ANY laptop/desktop. I'm looking for others with the same issue and/or if this is a known issue that has been resolved.
Tried RyanMogul6800 2.2 Heavy
Tried JUSTPCTECH 6.5 Rom
Tried an un-named 6.5 Rom prior to the 21501 release
Same issue on all of these roms, SSID/PPC not visible
Device is a 6800 Alltel branded on the Alltel network
WMWifirouter version is 1.35
Tried deleting the wifi listing on the pc's/laptops
Tried re-installing WmWifirouter
Tried rebooting everything
Tried changing hardware switch to control ringer on/off instead of wifi
Tried manually powering on wifi via Comm Manager
I know wmwifirouter started out testing here so I hope they see this post but I will be accessing my paid support with wmwifirouter to submit a support ticket.
Has anyone else experienced this?
What did you do to fix it?
Try going into settings, connections, Wireless LAN, change power mode to best performance. Then go into settings, connections, wifi and if any connections are in there delete them. Make sure no connections are attempting to connect. Now turn on wifi switch and go back into wifi settings. Pick to see ad hoc only and create new. Make a name and make it an ad hoc connection, pick open connection no security protection. Finish. Now using wifi on a laptop/desktop refresh the wifi and you should now see your connection. Quick tip when using WmWifirouter. Make sure nothing is connected to your PPC's adhoc connection. Have the wifi switch enabled BEFORE turning on WMwifirouter, Once its connected you can then use a desktop or laptop and connect to the PPC, and dont turn the WIFI OFF until you have quit WMwifirouter. I use the network plugin to access shared folders on my PC to transfer music etc.. Also make sure the wifi on the PC is not set up to share its own connection. That will interfere with the networking with the wifi on the PPC. Let me know if you get wi-fi working.
Thanks and I'm trying that now..only thing is I've been using WMWifirouter cince before it was 1.0 and it always worked fine. While i'm trying your suggestion is their anything different with 6.5 that would have me manually connecting.
I'm used to setting up wmwifirouter in the office and letting 2 otherppl access it and just GO! This happens on Vista, XP, and Windows 7 (I'm an MSDN subscriber). Anyhow trying your suggestions and let me know about 6.5 if you goet a sec.
Thanks
Tried it and my network showed up for a sec but when I tried connecting it timed out and then never showed up again. USB to 3G works fine and I tried ur suggestion on Vista & XP. Still pokin away. Hope sumthin works out!
Just a side note. My wifi IP on the 6800 is always all 0's 0.0.0.0 Shouldn't it be 192.16.3.1 and DHCP is enabled BTW
I'm experiencing a similar problem and have tried several 6.5 builds, including my own from the ppckitchen. WIFI will work for some time and then stop. It will work again for a short time after rebooting but then will stop once more.
So after JustPCTechs (I prefer Ryans Rom) rom i am back on RyanMogul's heavy & it's still not working. I like many people looked at others with this issue like it's something they are doing wrong but I am an EVERY DAY user of wmwifirouter. I cancelled my itnernet at the house simply because Alltel's unlimited was so fast. I even had the kid's Xbox 360 running through it.
So I'm still stuck with no wifi for wmwifirouter. Even after Ryan's suggestions. I know other people have this problem. I just wish you guys would speak up so we can collect data on this issue and resolve it for real.
No disrespect to the very talented individuals whom have assisted me so far. You and your work are greatly appreciated.
I'm also verifying the problem exists. Also I cannot connect my home pc's internet through the USB cable to the phone anymore. I have verified this same problem with all 3 of the 6.5 roms I've tested. I tried ryan's suggestion but to no avail. Looks great though!!
For the issue of the PPC not being able to use your PC's internet through USB cable you may want to try going into settings/connections/connection settings/select network. Make the top drop down menu My work network and the bottom drop down menu make your Carrier ex:Cricket, MetroPCS, etc.. That way should use your WAP when unplugged and use the PC's home connection when plugged in. That would then be normal operation.
SOLVED:
So I was poking around in the 6800 and I never use wifi because Alltel is SOOO fast. I saw a saved network connection ON THE 6800 to wmwifirouter. I thought it was odd since I asked wmwifirouter to dynamically create the network each time instead of storing it.
After doing that I was able to consistently see the 6800 from any device.
So Comm Manager / wireless Lan/ delete wmwifirouter
I've had the usb issue a long time ago and it is not the same.

If you notice i already said to delete existing wi-fi connections. So my first responses were your solution. you just overlooked it.. take care glad your sorted out.
I guess I did and let me make this real clear for anyone reading this later on. Wmwifirouter creates a wifi connection ON YOUR PPC DEVICE - TO YOUR PC DEVICE.
So when people tell you to delete all wifi connections and you delete the one on your laptop/desktop don't forget (like i did) to delete it on the ppc as well. I never knew thats how wmwifirouter worked. Learn somethin new every day. Thanks to all that helped.

In my instructions it is telling you to delete the connections off of the PPC.. Any connection on your PC would not automatically connect unless u had a matching ad hoc connection on ur PPC. I provided the fix and u overlooked/misunderstood it. I am glad you got ur wifi back up and running.
Hello xda ppl,
I'm going crazy with an issue on my HTC HD2. The WiFi Router doesn't work anymore.
Ok, first of all, if I hard reset the phone, the WiFi Router works again, so the problem is on actual settings. I don't use this features very often, so, really, I don't know which is the issue root cause. Probably some applications installed in the last months... However uninstall all applications doesn't help me...
I perform some test hard resetting and then restore only some sections (using SPB Backup). If I restore Windows Directory OR the Windows Registry WiFi Router doesn't work!
Since I don't wanna reset my device since I have to install a lot of applications, configure it, configure the device.... Very long time to do that....
Does someone advise me if there's a way to restore the original HTC WiFi router functionality without reset my device?
Or, maybe how can I reset the actual configuration modifying something on the registry/Windows directory?
Thanks!
In case You have programmed SPB backup for automatic backup try to restore the oldest backup You have and start from there.
Whenever I install a new app I do a backup and then check all essential functions including WiFi-router, if probs occur I do an immediate restore
Happened last week when I installed the 3G-enabler/disabler from XDA: BT and WiFi router didin´t work any more, so I did just a restore and everything was fine again
Thanks for reply troed, backup the device first to try a new application is also my goal...
Btw, my oldest backup is from 10 May 2010 and the WiFi router issue is still there... As already said I use the Router functionality only during Holidays (like now ) or just in rare cases. So the problem is very old... But I cannot figure which is the application that cause the issue!!!!
Now I'm surfng the internet using USB sharing features, but is very slow compared to WiFi connection!!!
So, I'm scratching my head to restore the router functionality.... Maybe there's a way to delete all the file/registry entries and then let the device restore it like during the first initialization...
However, just now I tried the Tom Condon Wifi Internet Sharing package... No way!
Hey, I had this problem with the wireless router a few days ago too... You might want to take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756830&highlight=wireless+router+problem

BTW: I remember now I had a prob with WiFi-router once I updated Intel-radio-drivers on my VAIO - notenbook, Router didn´t work at once. I took the old drivers and suddenly it was oaky again, but it was on the side of the NOTEBOOK ! (has sumthin to do with the protocols TCP/IP etc.)
Did You check this also`?

As already told, if I hard reset the device I can use the WiFi router without problem on the same notebook. So, I believe the problem is on HD2...
BTW. I tried WM WiFi Router application. I remember now I had an old license working fine also with ver 2.0.
Now the WiFi router works again. For sure, not the original one, but this is much better. I'll only take care about battery drain. In the previous version the application drained the battery in a while.
I would like to know WHY the original router doesn't work, but since I have "limited" access to the network, for now I'll use the "WM WiFi Router" temporary solution.
Any other feedback are welcome!
Hmmm... I think there are a few settings to adjust for the router to work...
If the post I posted doesn't work, then you might have to check if your settings under
Settings ---> All Settings ---> Connections ---> Connections ---> Advanced ---> Select Networks
For me, both are under the Internet settings... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
Even for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:" I have set under the internet settings instead of My work network...
When you turn on the wireless router, you are also given an option to choose which kind of network/connection you would like to use... Choose that one that gives you your internet connection... Example "Vodafone Internet"...
And if all else fails, you may try my method posted in the past few posts... If that STILL can't help you, I'm sorry but I've tried my best! =) Hope you can settle it soon!
Also, make sure that your Broadcom Network adapters connect to "The Internet" and not work
No way also playing with Network Settings. I had tried a lot of combination without success... Seems an "unknown" application/s have change something on Windows directory AND on Windows Registry that prevent WiFi Router to work. I have so many custom settings, with application like Co0kie's Home Tab, CSMI, BsB Tweaks, Pocket Informant, Klaxon, Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver, incall lock, NET CF 3.7.... and so on... So, probably one of these apps have changed something in a wrong way.
And again, since hard resetting the device solve the issue, with very big patience, after a reset, I'll start again to customize my device trying the router each time I install a new application or apply a new settings!
Just last question: Does someone know which is the registry settings for so called "Fast Call" (the second standard tab) where I put the contact photos?? Or in general does someone know which is the registry settings for manila settings (like the tabs settings)?
Regarding WMWiFiRouter mentioned in my previous post is a good application, but I can confirm it will drain the battery and probably also burn it, since its temperature has reach an high value. I can hardly hold the phone in my hand!
OH MY GOD!
After 3 days of resetting, restoring, change Windows Registry, remove some files from Windows directory and in general going crazy to find the issue route cause.... It's incredible, but I finally hit the target!
I changed some settings using "BsB Tweaks" (great app moreover)... I'm pretty sure I changed the settings related to WiFi, plus some others! I reset again the device and try again to be sure!!!!!!
I'll post the result asap if you're interested!
One of the problems with wifi-router is that it always uses channel 1. If any other router nearby uses channel one, you have no chance to connect to it, as it is very very low power. Check networks in your neighborhood if any of them uses channel 1, or go somewhere where there is no wifi (like park) and try it there.
Well, I'm not really sure, but disabling TCP Cache (on BsB Tweaks) solve the problem. I cannot be sure because now the "original" WiFi router works so I don't want touch anything else!
Maybe re-writing the BsB configuration help to solve the issue....
I'll investigate better when I come back from holidays!
do you have activated the wlan-n modus? if this registryhack is activ, wlan router dont work anymore.
i think this tweak can also edited in bsb-tweak tool or manual in windows registry. so deactivate the 802.11 n modus and your problem is solved.
Yes, I can confirm, this is one of the modification I applied on BsB, togheter with:
- TCP/IP High Cache = Off
- WiFi N = Off
- WiFi StandBy = Off
After that, WiFi router works again!
Damn! That's because I need to extremely tune everything!!!

BTW: I remember now I had a prob with WiFi-router once I updated Intel-radio-drivers on my VAIO - notenbook, Router didn´t work at once. I took the old drivers and suddenly it was oaky again, but it was on the side of the NOTEBOOK ! (has sumthin to do with the protocols TCP/IP etc.)
Did You check this also`?

You're right troed, with the latest drivers of Vaio wifi router doesn't work. Now it's ok with the old ones.
I bought my first smartphone ever last month to give you an idea how new I am. My last phone was a Touch that I had set up to allow tethering... but I had to upgrade my phone. I need my tethering back, and I prefer not going through a program like pda-net.
So, I read that if I root the phone, I'd have tethering back. I used Revolutionary. I backed up my phone. I installed clockwork and superuser. I think I did everything I'm supposed to do. However, when I plug the phone in (I prefer USB tethering) and click the "Internet Connection Mode", I still get the message I need to subscribe for $20 a month, and I don't get a connection. Do I need to do something else to enable wired tethering? Do I have to install a 3rd party program as well? Or is it that I haven't installed a custom ROM/Kernel/Radio/Whatever would be the right thing?
The phone is a Thunderbolt. HTC Sense 2.1, Software #2.11.605.5, Android version 2.3.4.
I really don't have much of an idea what I'm talking about, so if anyone has any fairly easy answers, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.
Find my WiFi tether thread and follow instructions

Do what lantern says. Just rooting does not unlock the built in internet sharing apps. You need to get the apps that do what you want now. I.e. wireless tether, you might like wired but wireless is very nice.

Grnlantern79,
Well, I've tried following your instructions on the other thread. I downloaded the .apk you had listed.
That took me an hour to figure out how to install... didn't know I needed to install another program to install something from a memory card.
As for these instructions:
"Mine did not work until I changed the device profile to Thunderbolt in settings.
Then I changed a few other settings such as
Force WiFi driver reloading (check) *has worked for some*
Routing fix (check) *most important one*
Disable wake-lock (unchecked) -> *this is why you lose connection after your screen turns off*"
I can't for the life of me find where any of these are. I've spent a good amount of time trying to find them, and just can't seem to find a settings section.
Then I tried Autotethering and WiFi Tether from the Market. It doesn't matter which I use, when I hit "Internet Connection Mode" the Verizon $20 to use message pops up. I tried on two computers, and both will see something there, but not connect to the internet. I tried connecting without selecting that, but it still didn't work (had it on "charge only").
I'm very frustrated... I've spent hours working on this and don't feel like I'm making any progress. I appreciate you attempting to help via that other thread, but I'm lost. If you have any way of giving me a more detailed explanation of how to get this to work, I would greatly appreciate it.
If I just install some new ROM and not work off the rooted stock one I have, would they come with the tethering block from Verizon disabled?
Thanks for any advice.

When you open WiFi tether press menu the soft key at bottom of your phone, the settings will pop up.
Device profile = thunderbolt
Routing fix = check box
Enable access control
Now I can tell you are not tech savy so this is where my help stops. If you can't find the settings in a program after an hour, you should think about return your smart phone for a feature phone.

Well, thanks for trying to help then Grnlantern79. I had misunderstood where to look for the settings. Figured it was settings on the phone itself I was changing to bypass the Verizon Internet Connection thing.
I changed all the settings in WiFi tether. Still no luck. The computer recognizes the network... I set it to Public. It's listed as HTC Remote NDIS Based Device. However, there is no Internet or Network access. I'm not putting it to "internet connection mode" since the Verizon popup has never gone away... leaving it on Charge only.
If anyone else is willing to try and assist me, I would appreciate it. I fully admit to not being smartphone savvy. However, I'm not incapable as Lantern implies... I've built my own computers since 1993, and can diagnose and do pretty much anything hardware related. Unfortunately, smartphones are different, and I'm still getting up to speed on all the terminology and uses of them.
So, thanks Lantern... but is anyone else able to figure out why this isn't working?
Thanks for any help.
