Hope this hasn't already been posted...wanted to share. Happy tethering!!!

The ICS Utility in the Q9H won't let you use Media Net to tether...until now. This utility is found under Office Tools. You'll need a USB connection to do this.

Tether With ICS:
1. Navigate to HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings
2. In here will be a value named "ForceCellConnection"
3. Either "ForceCellConnection" key, or change value from "ATT ICS" to "" (make it blank), (your choice)
4. Restart your device.

ICS will now give you the option to choose either ATT ICS or MEdia Net. ATT ICS will not work without a tethering plan on your wireless account because of the fact that its set up to connect to a secure WAP network, but MEdia Net will work as long as you have the signal and the basic pay-as-you-go feature (definitely not recommended).

ATT ICS uses "isp.cingular" (Private IP address assigned) whereas MEdia Net uses "wap.cingular" (general internet).

Enable Editing of ATT ICS and Media Net settings:
1. Navigate to HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections
2. There will be 2 keys in here. One for ATT ICS and MEdia Net. In those keys there will be a value of ReadOnly
3. Change "ReadOnly" from 1 to 0
4. Restart your device.
