If you are the owner of Samsung Omnia 7 and feel difficulty to share your internet connection to others because WP7 as default doesn't provide any ways to enable it, you can start to follow this tutorial. You can start to internet tether to treat your Windows Phone 7 device as wifi hotspot. You can start to serve your clients whether they are Android, iOS, Symbian or laptop users, they can enjoy your Wi-fi sharing. I find this tutorial on XDA forum and I suggest you to read carefully also how to internet tether on WP7 in this case Samsung Omnia 7.

Here's the things you must follow:


FIRST THINGS FIRST

You need a developer unlocked Omnia 7 / Focus on Mango

WHAT YOU NEED

Isolated Storage Explorer
NOTE: unpack and install vm_web2.exe first (it will download a 500mb++ file during installation, so it's best to do this first). then unpack ISE_GUI_1.1.rar, inside is the isolated storage explorer)

needed xml's (hs.zip)
DiagProvXML v0.9

Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap
WP7 Root Tools


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove (uninstall) Network Profile application and remove any APN you set up in settings -> cellular

2. InterOP-unlock your device (Heathcliff), read here

3. Install DiagProvXML app on your phone

4. Using Isolated Storage Explorer deploy enclosed provxml files in hs.zip

4.a to do this: run Isolated storage explorer on your PC with your device plugged in and screen-unlocked. (DiagProvXML does not need to be running on your phone)
4.b paste this value on Product GUID text box: 566814df-f6b6-4154-8be5-9e65dce907c0
