<rant>I like the Cliff's Notes version of answers, too! I hate it when things are recondite and abstruse...and when you ask questions, people curtly reply RTFM.</rant>

Cliff's Notes version: Install a registry editor of your choice. Pocket Hack Master's (PHM's) RegEdit is what I and many others use. Use the registry editor to remove (delete) the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] "Extension"="rilphone.dll"

Next, pair your phone to your computer via BT.

Now, use your 6800 to start up the program "Internet Connection Sharing". Choose BT as your connection option in the first drop-down box and "Phone as modem" in the second. Click connect.

You should now be able to share your EVDO connection via BT with your computer.
