Setting up External Content Type for SQL Server database using SQL Server authentication - SharePoint 2010 Foundation

This post is a follow up on the issues that I have got setting up External Content Type (ECT) on SharePoint 2010 Foundation that was going to connect to remote SQL Server database for information.

Recently I decided to try the Personal Hotspot feature of iPhone 4, but found some obstacles. Problem When I try to activate or set up Personal Hotspot on my iPhone: I am getting the following message: "To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact OPTUS".

As a part of my prepaid service I have got some data which is "mobile Internet and can be used within Australia for internet browsing and downloading content" (from Optus site ).
