using orbit 2 as a 3g modem

Has something recently changed with the search system ? I've been trying to search for this within the polaris section and getting nowhere. I know this has been asked before but I can't find any mention....
I'm after a faq for using my new orbit 2 as a 3g modem for my laptop. I've found the 'internet sharing' app within WM6 which I can run while connected via a USB cable to the laptop. I've got a web/email bolt on ( fairuse up to 200Mb ) so I think I should be able to connect to the web via my phone and run email/web/vpn on the laptop.
I think I may need some kind of driver for windows so that it recognises the phone as a modem when internet sharing is running.
also once i've got the modem connected I can't quite see how I make the connection to the internet. I'm assuming internet sharing will connect to to 'mobile web', will that give me an internet connection that the laptop can use. Do I need to do anything in windows ie new network connection ?
Thanks in advance.

Just run Internet Sharing and connect PDA to laptop. Polaris with my laptop (win Vista 32 bit) works as modem perfectly and you do not need any other settings.

for Xp u need Activesync to be installed

That was easier than I thought. Just run the internet sharing app and you're away. I'm typing this sat on the train ! Speed isn't too bad ! I'm really impressed. Thanks for your help.

I don't know what Command Manager is, but it's just there in your program's list when you hit Start > Programs

help me plz with my shared internet connection.

I am using i-mate jama and when i try to connect internet via shared internet connection limited or no connectivity comes any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

If you mean you are trying to use the net from your phone to allow your computer to connect to the net then Try using pdanet to connect to the net, as your carrier might be disabling using the shared internet connection.
you can download a trial from here
