OK, after installing the internet connection sharing package and adding this to the registry:
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\IpInitializeRouter 00000001 REG_DWORD

I can now tether with USB. Can't seem to get bluetooth to work, but USB tethering works.

I installed the wmwifi app and still not much luck. But what's odd now is that I can't consistently ping the phone anymore from my laptop. before even tho I couldn't get out on the network I could ping the phone, now only a few pings go by then stops.

I've also done a hard-reset on the phone to make sure I started from scratch. Will keep playing. At least tethering with ICS works, that's a huge plus.
