MiFi does not do USB tether and WiFi at same time

Hello OrbitalComp - I have the Silver version that has the Sprint lable on it. So far no complaints on getting the above "tip of the week" solution to work using the previously noted steps taken.

I would like to be able to have a public facing address as before when using the U720 broadband adapter. A friend needed technical assistance and I wanted to do a NetMeeting session but couldn't since we both were using private addresses.

Also One thing I noticed with the Sprint MIFI is that the GPS seldom works. I've traveled cross country to the west coast from Chicago and was able to get an EVD0 Rev A signal 80% of the time. The rest of the time I was able to get the broadband lower speed hookup. But not once was I able to get a GPS connection. GPS is enabled and the Config file reflect this enabled status. What's strange is that I can get a GPS signal on my Blackberry phone no problem.

Since the tip of the week seems to be not one that is "good" to use. I wonder how a USB 2.0 Y cable would work attached to the ipod cable that removes the data part. (A male x 2 to Mini B male x1)

I have a few of these that came with the newer 500MB laptop external drive cases that give more power to my HDD.
