Double click on the Phone and Modem Options icon.
Click on the Modems tab.
Click to select Sony Ericsson W810 USB WMC Data Modem from the modem list.

Tick Connect to the Internet and then click on Next.
Tick Set up my connection manually and then click on Next.

most providers will not like it unless you ahve a true data plan on your wireless internet like the $20.00 unlimited plan only applys for using the device itself for internet not tethering. just to let people know so they don't get their stuff messed up don't know how much they are enforcing it.

you need to have a data connect plan to tether. If you have a pda connect plan it probably wont work. The cell carriers to catch on eventually if you dont have the right provisioning.

generally speaking Cingular doesn't really crack down on it, I've teathered plenty of times with no issues, you can teather with any plan, handset, pda or no data connect, but teathering without unlim internet is highly expensive, teather away, it won't be stopped unless it becomes a real problem. Very few people teather. Cingular has bigger fish to fry.
