My firm just upgraded my notebook to Vista Enterprise 32-bit (against my wishes!). My Mogul is running the most recent Sprint/HTC-supplied ROM, 3.56.651.0. Under XP, I had no problem tethering using the built-in WM "Internet Sharing" app over USB.
Under Vista, no joy.
I've tried a thousand things. I've downloaded the most recent version of WMDC. After disabling "Enable advanced network functionality" in Connections -> USB to PC, I was able to get WMDC to see the device, xfer files, sync, etc. But still no joy on tethering.
The steps I'm following (that worked on XP):
(1) on the device, I fire up Internet Sharing, select USB, and hit Connect; the phone connects to Sprint's Phone as Modem service (which I'm paying for) fine.
(2) I plug the device into notebook via USB cable
(3) the notebook complains "Windows needs to install driver for your Generic RNDIS" and offers "Locate and install driver software (recommended), "Ask me again later", or "Don't show...". I select "Locate and Install..."
(4) the notebook says it's installing the driver, but then complains:
=======
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
=======
and then the driver install windows complains:
=======
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device ...
Generic RNDIS Failed
=======
Has anyone gotten _THIS COMBINATION_ (i.e., Vista on the computer, plus a Sprint Mogul running ROM 3.56.651.0) to work? I'm at my wits end.
Thanks!

A quick [non]update, if you're having this problem too... No joy from hours of internet searching and posting on other boards.

my search continues also
i use wmwifirouter to tether via usb/wifi, so i guess you could try that. But i don't think it'll make a difference.
For a while, my vista ultimate wouldn't detect my phone via activesync, i did a repair on it and it fixed. It could probably be the usb driver problems.
I also installed windows 7 to play around, the usb tether worked on that also
I discovered a short while ago that the Media Net was needed in the drop down under Network Connections on the Internet sharing app.
Not sure if ya still looking for a fix but in vista you have to download/install Windows Mobile Device Center then plug your phone and wait for it to detect it. Once the sync is set up disconnect and boot up the internet sharing hit connect then hook up the usb cable. BTW using internet sharing with vista sucks ass cause it randomly connects and disconnects.
I have been using "Wireless Router" for a year and a half now on my XP desktop. It works great, now I have just purchased a laptop w/ Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I get an issue with drivers too.
I have WMDC installed but the system will not recognize my Mogul 6800 as a modem.
If anyone has an idea of were to get the driver or knows any other parameter settings we would appreciate it. I also will update my finds as I search.
BTW, Wireless Modem has a non detection feature if your are interested.
I managed to screw up my titan (again). I installed the ICS Control program to get wifi bridge mode because I was sick of using the USB cable to tether. It didn't work at all and I exited the program. Now my cellular internet does not work on the phone unless the laptop is connected via USB. I get "Page not found" errors otherwise. It says it's connected though (data arrows). It also works intermittently when connected to a wifi access point. Anyone know a fix to this issue?

What have you tried to do so far? I 'd would recommend you clear the cookies, cache and then delete your existing connections under settings and manage connections.When you see mange existing connections click on that and then tap and hold on the connection that is a present and select delete. (the connection with restore and do a force out to the internet to update your settings when you soft reset the device.
I just bought my HTC desire HD. Its a AWESOME phone!
But i have a small issue with it.
i want to update the phone and it wont work.
i cant download it from the 3g network becourse it wont start somehow.
Also when i connect it via a usb cable to the computer, it wont start the internet.
i did set the settings to internet sharing and i dont have a firewall on my computer.
when i check the status of the connection on the phone it says it is initiating.
it stays in that mode.
can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?
I'm trying to get the tethering working but when connecting to my laptop it never recognizes it. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have been able to set up a hotspot, but sometimes that connection goes out. weird. Wanted to see how tethering via usb works.
You need to install HTC sync.
Looking to use my phone at work with the (wired) internet from my PC. I have a galaxy S7 from Verizon.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to reverse tether the phone to the PC with a USB cable.
I have figured out THE ONLY WAY TO TURN ON USB TETHERING is to first turn on mobile data, and then "mobile hotspot and Tehtering-->USB Tethering" but I DON'T WANT TO USE MY PHONE AS THE INTERNET SOURCE, just the opposite!!!
If I do the above, I am able to turn off mobile data on my phone and it appears that the phone stays tethered to the PC...is this the proper procedure??
However the internet doesn't flow to my phone (or hasn't yet) and I also notice that the internet on my PC is dramatically slowed down...like a minute just to load google.com
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
thanks
Look on github for a tool called: gnirehtet
Worked for me. Just requires ADB and runs a host on your PC.
(I'd post the link but have too few posts.)
