I first couldn't choose my stick in the internet sharing dialog. But now it's working! What I did is connnect using Sierra Wireless Watcher, then go to System Preferences, Network. There you'll see a modem-device that is connected made by Sierra Wireless Watcher. The problem is that this device has no name! All you got to do is mark it and choose "Rename service" close to the +/- buttons below. After the service is named you can select it in the internet sharing dialog.

When I bring up System Preferences with my USB727 up and running, I get the following choices for “Share your connection from:”

Novatel Wireless CDMA
AirPort
Bluetooth

I chose “Novatel Wireless CDMA”

Are you connecting using System Preferences, or is there some ATT or Sierra software manager involved? I would try using the System Preferences to connect, then use the above instructions.

Hope this helps. Please let me know how it works out.

David

My choices in system preferences-sharing for "share your connection from" do not include usb. When I select built-in ethernet or firewire I do not get internet connection out through the broadcast. I pick up the broadcast with good signal strength but no through put of usb fed internet. Doesn't make sense I should select share from airport or bluetooh. Any sugestions?.
