Can't disable advanced network functionality

[blue_93_jeep_yj]

I haven't been able to sync my AX with Vista (although i haven't needed to in a while so i haven't been to worried about it.) and it dawned on me to check my USB connection settings and ANF is checked. When i uncheck it and tap OK it says it can't disable RNDIS. Anyone seen this problem before? And can i fix it without a hard reset.

One possible fix Pedah found here.

HA, that fixed it. Guess that's what i get for trying to hijack peoples bluetooth connections while i'm sitting in Jason's Deli waiting on my wife to finish eating. LOL(Deleted my com ports under bluetooth settings).

BlueTooth piracy huh?

Yeh, sometimes i scan with bluetooth to see what i can see. One would think that a eatery that has such a high volume of business traffic would have a wifi hotspot. But then again with the price of cellular data packages coming down every day wifi hotspots may become a thing of the past. Only time will tell. Oh and by the way thanks for the post that Mahstah pointed me to.

LoL it's really tempting, I accidently (?) connected to a neighbours wifi the other Day and was surfing, and then dropped out checked connection, found out oops. I think there is probably an issue with using open private networks and you have to judge for yourself? I only had the problem, Mahstah pointed me to the solution, but it's good, it works and we're all happy.

[blue_93_jeep_yj]

Yeh it's definately a question for debate. I'm more to the side of keep your stuff locked up tight if you don't want anyone using it(I do!). But then again i'm not the malicious type who's going around looking to steal or wreck a system. I'm just wanting to check email, ebay, look up a phone number, pull up a map yada yada yada. But does that make it right? i dunno?

[Mahstah]

It's legal (in the US) to connect to and use any unencrypted networks. It's illegal to change their settings or to connect to other computers on the open networks without consent.

I've read that, is there a reference to BT as well. Is a BT phone considered a network connection?

And we've gone way off OP topic,lol.

[blue_93_jeep_yj]

I do know that a couple of times when i connected to certain phones when i set up the connection it offered the option to set up dial up networking. I have been meaning to get a dial up number from my ISP and try it out, but i just haven't had the chance to yet. My cell phone isn't bluetooth enabled. and yeh we've gooonnee way off topic here lol. It's fun bucking the system sometimes though isn't it? lol

PS i've amended the subject line.
