Thanks, Lux. I posted the querry on the .101 thread and 7100sib said he does it all the time--no problem. I haven't found anyone else with issues, so I think I'm gonna take the plunge. I do know that at one point I had to change the settings on my connection on the laptop to get tethering to work. It was working fine, t-mobile changed something, then I couldn't get it to work again until I called them and they gave me a new string to type in. Maybe something like that's knocking you out... Although I guess if you can get it to work under previous OS again it's probably something else.
