I know its possible to use the phone as a usb modem for the PC, is it possible to do the opposite via an app or adb like active sync does to share the ethernet connection to the phone, I don't have data, but would like to be able to use the net on my phone for some things.

yes on winmob, but i cant figure it out on android
there's currently no support for usbnet (linux) or rndis (windows) in dzo's kernel. Usbnet used to be available but was disabled to stabilize adb.

I am lokking forward to solve the same problem. I have seen that deice with android 2.3.2 have the possibility to connect to internet through
the usb connection of the PC, so I was thinking to update my device (It has Android 2.2) to 2.3.2.
Do you think it is the only way to sove the problem? Thank you
Suggestions are welcome.
Your trying to connect your phone to the internet via the phones USB socket ? You could use a usb wifi adapter on the PC and set it up as a access point. I think Win7 has this built in or use ubuntu ?
Yes, I would like to connect my HTC Legend (android 2.2) to the internet via the usb socket without any wifi adapter. Phones with android 2.3.2 allow that (when you connect them to a PC you can choose that option), my doesn't.
I was wondering if there is any program allowing that or if I have to update my ROM to android 2.3.2.
Thank you for your suggestion. It can be useful anyway.
Sense 2.1 has internet passthrough via HTC Sync, but since I don't use the NewSense ROM, I personally use Connectify on my Windows 7 laptop.

Using your phone as a modem (tethering)
Get online with your notebook or desktop computer at any time, using your phone’s data connection.
You need your SIM card inserted on your phone to use the data connection. To find out how to set up and use the data connection, see Data connection.
Before you can use your phone as a modem, be sure to copy first HTCDriver.exe from your phone’s microSD card to your computer. To find out how to copy, see Copying files to or from the storage card. Double-click this file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the modem driver on your computer.
Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on. See Data connection to learn how to turn on the phone’s data connection.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
On the Connect to PC screen, select Internet sharing, and then tap Done.

Just as nice additional information for anybody encountering this thread from a search: tethering works out of the box on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).
but it doesn't work at all with ubuntu 10.10 it did work on 10.04, .. then i installed backports and it worked on 10.10 however ubuntu did an other kernel upgrade and it didn't work anymore.
I currently have Froyo 2.2 on my HD2 and I am having fun with it.
However, I whenever I connect the phone to my PC using the USB connection, I can never see my phone connect to the PC.
I go to my computer and I don't see any new drive. I can easily do this with WinMo 6.5.
I need to transfer files from my computer to my phone but I cannot make the connection. Please help.
Is there some time of setting that I have to do?
I went to setting -->> Connect to PC --->> Default connection type --->> and I chose Disk Drive but it still does not work.
The options that I have are:
Charge Only
HTC Sync
Disk Drive
USB Tethering
I think I tried all 4 of the options but I still cannot connect my phone to my PC using the USB cable.
Please help.

you can go to market and search for this app(automount),then set it to auto mount when USB connected...then you should see your device on your PC...but you are unable to direct copy files to the device,it'll corrupt...
The most reliable way to copy file from pc to android now is install this software...Android explorer which allows drag and drop...everything...click here
download and install it...hey mate,next time please don't create a thread because of 1 question,try to ask in the thread of your build or search...
Cheers..that definitely will help you..
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,
Regards,

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.

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
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
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.
hello, i got new problem, is there any chanse to use my PCs internet (it's not wireless!) on my android hd2 via USB cable ....
Yes, you can do reverse tethering (although I have never tried).
Reverse tethering works best, apparently, on ubuntu linux: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
hey, thx for this, but i dont understand this, what is USB Tethering, setting the 'bridge' up, how to do this, can i have some ... 'details' pls )) .
Which step are you stuck on, and are you on linux?
well.... im not on Linux, im on Windows 7, anyway, i found out what is USBTethering, but when i check that (i have drivers installed from SDK) nothing heppens, i dont know what to do, i dont know how to 'bridge'
step 2:
Connect USB cable and activate USB Tethering. You should see on linux or windows a new network interface. ---> where the hell is 'new network interface' -.-

Hi,
Does your phone connect to pc when you plug in usb cable?
Does your pc have latest version of WMDC?
This contains the drivers for successful connection.
If (And only if) you're using a Desire HD rom then just plug in your USB cable, choose "Internet Pass-through", let windows install the drivers (W7), enjoy internet on your device.
But if you're using another rom, follow the other advices from our fine members
Well.... my phone is connected with cable, im using windows7 ... all drivers are installed i got HTC dream composite ADB interface in control panel in 'android phone' device detected. im trying to USB thetering...but problem is that i still dont have internet acces from my pc, to my phone. i installed wired tether via my VPN ... but still i dont know what to do ... can someone pls explain ....
even i wanted to know how to do this

my hd2 android(rom: angel death v1.4) gets connected with pc but in network and sharing centre it shows "no access to internet".
