No WIFI tethering for the Omnia 7 in Mango. But this procedure can be used to enable tethering via USB.

1. Dial ##634#
2. Enter *#7284#
3. Select “Modem Tethered call” (this will disable Zune synch via USB, but you can always go back via the same procedure).
4. The phone will reboot to apply the new settings.

To use the Windows Phone 7 data connection from your PC you’ll need to setup a dial-up connection.

First, in Windows Device manager (your pc should have installed all necessary drivers via an internet connection), adjust the properties for the Samsung “modem”.
Samsung modem –> properties –> advanced tab.
As “Extra init command” enter: +cgdcont=1,IP,”gprs.base.be” (replacing “gprs.base.be” with the APN of your provider).

Now create the dial-up connection. Phone number to dial: *99#. UID/pw: leave blank.
