The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Really cool, Disavowed. You

Really cool, Disavowed.

You inspired me to get my Motorola Q with Windows Mobile 5.0 and EVDO high speed connectivity from Verizon working in a similar fashion.

I've got everything working as you described except for my data connection. Right now, I'm using the phone as a Modem. I haven't been able to figure out how to use ICS so that I get the increased performance.

Setting up the dial up connection on my Motorola Q was simple. What I did:

Dial: ##342587 (you have to dial this string to bring up a hidden menu)
Enable dial-up networking
Go to Start menu > Accessories > Modem link
Activate your USB connection
Plug the Motorola Q into your PC via the data transfer USB cable

On my PC:
1. Click Start and then Control Panel.
2. Double-click Network Connections and then New Network Connection Wizard.
3. Follow the prompts to connect to the Internet using a modem:

* Network Connection Type: Connect to the Internet
* Getting Ready: Set up My Connection
* Internet Connection: Manually connect using a dial-up modem
* Select a Device: Smartphone wireless USB Modem
* Connection Name: Type a connection name.
* Number to Dial: #777
* Connection Availability: Anyone's Use
* User Name: your mobile phone number@vzw3g.com (for example: 2125551212@vzw3g.com)
* Password: vzw
Anytime you want to connect, just double click your dial up connection and connect to the Verizon network.
