Getting Windows Mobile Internet Sharing to work with an AT&T phone

0Comments
I have an AT&T Fuze with the original, stock Windows Mobile 6.1 installed. I have tried repeatedly on two different machines to get Internet Sharing working over either bluetooth or usb. No dice. Finally, I stumbled on this blog: http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/10/03/windows-mobile-internet-connection-sharing-hack.aspx. The important part wasn’t how to hack the registry. What I needed was to know that the AT&T ISP connection needed to point to wap.cingular instead of isp.cingular. I made that simple change and my connection worked flawlessly! Hopefully this helps someone else. [More]

That said, he spends way too much time testing cutting-edge gadgets that often come with promises of making things better and faster, but often fail to live up to those promises.  And they usually fail on the cheaper front as well.
