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.

Problem with ICS on WM6 and Windows 7

Hello,
I have search and read many before posting but I do not find the solution to my problem.
I use my HTC Jade (T3232) with standard ROM as a usb and wifi modem for my laptop with windows XP. I have just purchased a netbook with windows 7 starter and I try to connect the phone as a modem.
It works perfectly with WMwifiRouter (thanks to the author) but does not work with usb.
When I launch the ICS on the phone and I plug the USB, it launches Remote RNDIS Internet sharing and creates a new network connection but this connection remains "unidentified". I assume there is an IP probleme.
I precise that the firewall has been swith off.
Any help would be much appreciated.
