1. Go to your network connections
2. click create a new connection
3. select 'Connect to the Internet'
4. 'Set up my connection manually'
5. <next>
6. 'Connect using a dialup modem'
7. <next>
8. check only the box for the 'Standard Modem'
9. <next>
10. give the ISP box some value.. i.e. "SprintPCS"
11. <next>
12. enter '#777' for the phone number
13. <next>
14. can opt for anyone's use or my use only
15. <next>
16. leave the username & password fields blank
17. unless your situation warrants it, unselect both checkboxes (use this account when anyone connects to the internet, make this the default internet connection)
18. <next>
19. <finish>

Thanks for the help! It's nice to see some nice people out there. One question though. Since my laptop didn't come with a modem I don't have the option for 'standard modem'. I am also running Windows 7. Will that make a difference?

Thanks again for the help.

I actually did all of that and had success until I got the message that read something about couldn't find a PPS or couldnt connect to PPS...Im on a macbook but assume it's all relatively the same...

I recommend Tetherberry. Works on my Macbook and also on the Windows XP partition. AND...you don't need to pay to enable tethering with your carrier. Believe me, I know. I use mine in Canada and don't even have to pay international tethering fees. Incredible.

Ill have to look in to it...so Tetherberry just allows you to use your blackberry as a modem and have the laptop run internet using the data plan I have?
