Check to ensure that the USB connection on your phone is set to "ActiveSync".
Then connect the USB to your phone and let it sync.
Make sure it doesn't disconnect after synching.
Finally, open up the internet connection sharing app on the phone and set it to "USB" and click on connect.
Thats all

No need to over complicate it. No activesync relationship is required for this to work RNDIS is just a usb ethernet adapter.

Once you start the internet sharing app and hit connect(with it set to USB) it overrides any USB setting in the connections area of the phone. I have mine set to mass storage device, as soon as you hit connect it hijacks the usb and it turns into a RNDIS device, nothing more.

While you're doing this, Cingular can't tell that you're tethering unless they can check on the phone to see if the app is running. I've never had any issues. Technically speaking, the phone is still the device requesting the data because the outside cingular ip address still belongs to the phone and not your computer like when you "dial-up". So by virtue of networking alone, they cannot tell unless they analyze the traffic which isn't kosher these days.
