Anyone have any success in setting up the tethering/internet sharing feature on the 6800 w/ Win XP? When I connect the computer to the 6800 Windows recognizes an RNDIS type device, but the generic driver XP tries to install is incorrect/won't support the modem. Tried installing driver that worked on my 6700 w/XP but no luck. Out of ideas if you can help

All you need is Activesync 4.5 on your computer. Connect you 6800 via cable or bt and start the internet sharing program in your start>programs menu. It will connect automaticly thru activesync.

I installed Activesync 4.5 and connected the XP PC with the 6800. Started phone as modem program on 6800. It connects fine but the PC thinks it is connected to Sync, not to use the modem portion. Sprint gave some lame excuse about the "Simply Everything Plan" not supporting phone as modem. SOmething about a fix in June that may cost $15/mo. Any other tips you might share? Curious if you have this running on your 6800 and if you have the "Simply Everything Plan" from Sprint

disable usb connections under file>connection settings in activesync when you want to use your phone as a modem. Just remember, if you tether this way, Sprint can tell and may charge you for the data used since its not part of your plan.

Getting closer. Got phone 'internet sharing' to activate and stay connected, But only by setting (in internet sharing program on the 6800), Network connection='Sprint PCS', not 'phone as modem' and PC Connection=PC. I Disabled the USB check box as you suggested in Activesync and bam connection!

W/'Use phone as modem' option, I get 2 errors 1) a 67 usr name/psswd error, 2) remote party has ended connection. Its almost as if the modem connection for 'use phone as a modem' in connection settings doesn't exist as far as the 6800 is concerned.

In any event the PC in device mgr still does not find the modem on the 6800. Tried doing a find hardware on the PC, and XP finds "Modem device on high definition Audio bus" but can not install the driver for the 6800.

Any other pearls of wisdom you might have to share?

After a lot of tinkering and absolutely pathetic non existent support from HTC and Sprint, I got the devices working. Here is the process:

6800 Instructions for Internet Sharing:
1) Install Activesync if not already installed on 6800
2) On 6800 Go to Start →Settings→USB to PC . Clear the checkbox
3) On 6800 Go to Start →Activesync → Menu → Connections. Clear the (when
cradled) check box
4) A soft reboot here wouldn’t hurt if # 5 and above fail
5) On 6800 Go to Start → Programs → Internet Sharing. Set PC
Connection=USB & Network=Sprint PCS; tap connect on bottom left. If the
phone errors # 67 bad usr name or psswd, go to Start → Settings →
Connections tab (bottom) → Connection icon → Manage existing
connections. Click and hold on Sprint PCS or what ever the default
connection is, let up and then click ‘connect’. Then return to Start →
Programs → Internet Sharing and tap ‘connect’ on bottom left.
6) On laptop, Control panel → Network settings, should hear windows audible
tone and see connection in the list for the phone. Can rename to 6800 so it
is obvious when you see by rt clicking. I created short cut on desktop for
easy access.

Impressive speed compared to my old 6700. Darn near equal to my DSL. WHat will they think of next

use this i am using now and its work perfect for me

you must have a Activesync 4.5 Insall on your PC.

1) Start Data Connection On your Mogul Before you connect to Computer
2) go to Program Internet Sharing
3) PC Connection as USB and Network Connection As Sprint PCS
4)now Click on connect on your mogul then Connect USB Cable to Mogul

your Screen on your Mogul Say Check USB Cable Connection then It say connected.

You should be good to go.

not unless you have a data plan, in case you don't, i think its like 15 cents/kb (not too sure though) you might want to check with sprint.

my advice, get a powervision pack
