I'm not sure about the 6700 personally, but usually go to your comm manager (I'm using Sprint Touch) there should be some option that says "Internet Sharing"

I'm going to try to find it around and answer you more thoroughly... if not, that's the first step to take

The One-Time Setup on the Phone to Enable Data Pass-through
This is to allow the phone to accept data/modem connections from a computer. With Verizon, they turn this ability off by default, so you’ll need to enable it the first time.

1. Go to the PHONE application (hit the green phone button on the XV6700)
2. Enter ##3328873 (or ##feature) and press “TALK” (or Send)
3. Enter six zeros for the code (000000)
4. Now Enable both the BT DUN and Wmodem
5. Tap OK several times and OK to soft reset your device
6. Once restarted, look for wmodem in the \windows folder on the device. If you can’t find it be sure in File Explorer to select “show all files”.

Additional Setup for Using Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking

1. Pair up phone and XP Bluetooth
2. Go to properties of phone Bluetooth device in XP’s Bluetooth Settings and enable the Dial-Up Networking profile, this will install XP’s Bluetooth Modem driver.
3. Create a DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile in Windows XP and use the newly created Bluetooth modem device rather then your standard telephone modem device.
4. Phone number is #777, username is XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com, password is vzw (X’s are your wireless phone number)
   Now just launch the newly created DUN in XP like you would normally dial-up over a standard modem.

Additional Setup for Using USB Dial-Up Networking

1. Start wmodem on your phone and set it for USB
2. Plug in the phone via the supplied USB cable to the computer
3. XP will try to install the new ‘usb modem’ it sees, if it gets an error, just unplug and try again
4. Once it asks you for a driver, point it to the .inf file CDMA1X_USBMDM.INF (you can find this file all over the Internet, often bundled with a .exe for starting the connection, but don’t use the .exe, as it’s old and unnecessary, and I didn’t have the best speed test results with it.) This will finish your modem install in XP and it will show up as a new device in Device Manger.
5. Create a DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile in Windows XP and use the newly created USB modem device rather then your standard telephone modem device.
6. Phone number is #777, username is XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com, password is vzw (X’s are your wireless phone number)
7. Now just launch the newly created DUN in XP like you would normally dial-up over a standard modem.

Short list for connecting each time you want to use it (Bluetooth or USB)

1. Disable ActiveSync on the phone (or stop data connection)
2. If using Bluetooth, enable Bluetooth on the phone
3. Run Wmodem and click Start for either USB or Bluetooth
4. Either plug in the USB to computer or enable Bluetooth on Computer
5. Connect the Dial-Up Networking profile you created on the computer, ensuring it’s using the proper modem device for your scenario

be careful. make sure you won't get charged for tethering
