USB Tethering: Work on Mac?

I have usb tethering on my phone... I turned it on. How do I get it to work though on the computer? Thanks

Moved as not Android development.

Works fine for me running SL anda tiger server

I have Snow Leopard (and Win 7). With Cyanogen's ROM how do I get tethering working? Do I need to do anything on the computer to get the internet tethering working? Thanks

I'm on 10.6.2 running CM5.0.3.1 and I can't figure out how to get tethering to work. I enable tethering and connect it to my MacBook, but nothing happens. I go to network under preferences and I don't get any ethernet connections and no options.
Is there some driver I need to install? Does anybody have USB tethering working under Snow Leopard?
On my Windows 7 machine Windows automatically detected and installed the appropriate driver and I was good to go.

Did anyone get Appinventor by Google running on HD2?

Hey guys,
I was granted access to the beta of Android App Inventor and wanted to start playing around with that software and my HD2 running android. However, I cannot manage to get a connection to the phone via USB. (Selection: Connect to Phone in Block Editor does not work for me).
So, is there anyone working with App Inventor paired with HD2?
Thank you for your help and advice in advance,
jokeR

Download the Android SDK (if you haven't already), and install the package, "Usb Driver Package, revision 3".
Then plug in your HD2, if it doesn't auto-install do the following:
Right click my computer - manage - device manager,
find your HD2 in Other Devices/leo
Right click it, Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for driver software
In the text box: C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver (adjust accordingly)
Click next and it should install.

also only some builds have usb connection working i am using darkstones build and usb works fine

Currently I use this build: "shubCRAFT CM6RC2/Froyo" .
I still did not manage to complete a connection. The Block editor quits with an error "We made a mistake! Please help by reporting this bug:
Problem getting project defitions for phone: ...longurl..."
I will retry installing SDK and Extras and driver.
So, after reinstalling everything it still does not work:
"Leo" is listed in Devices as: "Android Composite ADB Interface" - is that the right driver?
I also tried to use a virtual Android device utilizing the SDK, but sadly that did not work as well. I have the Desktop of the virtual Android on my Screen, but clicking connect in Block editor does not connect to the virtual device (the Leo is unplugged in that scenario).
:/

make sure USB debugging is enabled in the application settings

Yes I have App Inventor. It's working OK for my on Darkstones build, but like you, I have issues with Shub's build.
For some reason or another - and I'm not sure how - I got it running just fine with no phone connected at all. I was able to complete the project and save it just fine. Maybe it was a bug...

I tried Darkstone's built, had USB debugging enabled, but it still did not work for me Don't know what to do next.
Anyone working with virtual devices or other builds that could work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

[Q] G2 USB tether, will not install android ethernet interface

So here's my difficulty. Wireless tethering works great. But I also like battery life. So I am trying to get the usb tethering to work. I have followed the directions on androids site, and no local area connection shows up. it just installs the Android ADB driver and that's it.
I have previously installed pdanet.. so that may be a stumbling block
The laptop is an EEE pc running XP

I'm guessing it could depend on the ROM your phone is running. I'm running CM7 and everything installed automatically and perfectly.

I am running the stock t-mobile rom. I do not expect it's a "phone" problem.

Windows 7 x64 USB Tethering

Hi,
It seems that I've searched everywhere and tried everything, but I'm unable to get USB tethering to work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my understanding of how it should work between Windows 7 64bit and Typhoon's CM7 Android running on the HTC HD2:
Phone Side:
Wired tethering is already available as an option, so simply enable USB tethering by ticking Settings -> Wireless and network settings -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> USB tethering
Windows Side:
Install the correct ADB driver for the HTC HD2. Does this create a new network adapter? I'm assuming a internet connection starts automatically as soon as tethering is enabled on the phone (and this runs via the network adapter)
When I connect the phone via USB, windows is unable to automatically find a driver. Apparently windows already comes prepackaged with a RDNIS driver, but this doesn't seem to work. The phone shows up in device manager under "Other devices" and is listed as "ADB" with a yellow exclamation mark. Where do I find the correct driver to use, and what happens after I've installed the driver. Is it true that the process is automatic, or do I need to right click on the installed adapter and click connect?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Hi guys. Would really appreciate some tips on this one.
Is nobody using USB tethering on Win7 64?

Hey. I haven't been able to get native USB teathering to work. U can use a app to make it work that seems to be the only way as of now. If you search my posts I posted the apk file.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

In the past I've had to search on google for the ADB driver but cannot remember where i found it since I couldnt find it again but a friend just brang their desire hd over and windows 7 found the driver straight away, do u know anyone who would borrow u their android device?
dunno if this helps

Thanks for the replies.
I've already installed the Google USB driver (from the developer site listed above). The phone shows up and the ADB driver is installed.
I've also tried installing the wired tethering apk from google apps. It is currently at version 1.4.
HOWEVER, I still don't understand how this is supposed to work as the ADB driver is not listed under networking devices. Surely you need a network driver to able to establish a connection. What am I not understanding?

Hey, just built a new PC for a friend and tried sharing my internet connection using easytether which didnt work because the pc didnt have the correct adb driver. My friend then installed HTC Sync (for her Desire HD) and windows found an adb driver in there. Now the native tethering & easytether on my phone works.
Now I'm not too sure if htc sync has ANYTHING to do with this, or if the driver was downloaded from her desire hd (usb was plugged in already) but I guess you could try downloading htc sync and see what happens.

NexusHD2 & Reverse Tether

Hi everyone i'm trying to use the reverse tether app with my NexusHD2 2.4. The app seems legit but the problem is located to the device drivers.
I'm running Windows 7 ultimate x64. Currently my device is recognized as Android Composite ADB interface
Even normal tethering is not connecting and i get a usb fail.
i've read that i need the Remote NDIS based internet sharing device driver to work i was unable to find one working.
Is there anyone solved this problem. If yes please provide the appropriate drivers.
Thanks a lot
p.s. Yes, i really really need usb reverse tethering and no there it to possibility to share through wifi.

I think that unfortunately currently is not possible to do that, but if you use the search maybe you can find some help.
