The S2 program will overwrite any settings made to your Network
Connections when it starts.

You need to create a copy, rename it, create a shortcut and use that.
You might need to start the S2 program for the laptop so see the phone
as a modem, wait for the circle to turn green, close it then use your
shortcut.

I would also advise using OpenDNS on the copied network connections,
it's faster than the one Three uses.
