Good evening folks and welcome.. So I just got my new place and comcast is taking ever so long to turn my internet on. So my laptop is fine doing the wireless tethering. Unfortunately not for my desktop. So when I plug my usb into my desktop, it says trying to install new hardware. Has some wizard window pop up, but that really doesn't help.. So phew now to the question. How do I get usb tethering to work on my desktop using my phone (evo) and my laptop?
I use PDAnet for hardwire connections to my desktop

How would I install PDAnet on my desktop? download the software to my phone, and move it to my desktop?
There are separate downloads. There is a download for your phone (the app), and there is also a download for your computer that you also have to install.
I am not able to post links yet, but here is where you need to go:

Guys I have a Mogul and the $15 unlimited plan i called sprint customer care and inquired about tethering...They informed me however that I cannot. I attempted to do it anyway and got a user name and pw error. What can I do and is tethering possible?
Download and install the attached cab. Then open internet sharing on your phone, click conncet, then plug in yer usb cable to your computer. You will tether for free.

I tried this and get a invalid user name/password when trying to connect and it won't connect unless the USB is plugged in. Am I doing something wrong? Just updated to WM 6.1
And ideas?
When you open Internet Sharing program what options u get ? If you only get option using Phone As A Modem u need to edit registry HKLM\comm\internetsharing\settings
edit key 'ForceCellConnection' so it says 'Sprint PCS '
How would this work for Telus? (Canada)
Make sure you dont use PAM...phone as modem...they can tell when you are using this VERSUS using Internet sharing where the data connection is used. It appears that the phone is accessing the net for browsing on their end.
I have a verizon 6800 with DCD 3.1.5 and Internet sharing. I installed the WMModem as posted earlier. When I open Internet Sharing I press the connect, then plug in the usb cable. The computer sees the phone, but I get a message "Limited or No connectivity".
Under network connection Details this is what I get"
Physical Address 80-00-60-0f-E8-00
IP Address 169.254.66.5
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
My internet sharing works if I use WIFIRouter, but don't always want to use this. Any ideas why this does not work? I'm able to follow instructions, but not too smart with the lingo, so please be gentle?
Kevin
how about alltel
will this work on alltel?

Not to sure about that DCD ROM version but you usually don't have to install that CAB as he includes that in his ROMs. That IP address is bad and that is why you can't connect. I have DCD 3.2.6 and all I do is run Internet Sharing and click on connect and then connect via USB and it works. At least for my XP machine. My Vista machine doesn't like my phone at all. I have even tried bluetooth and Vista is still having problems. Going to reload Vista again some day.
ruff_ryder, what ROM are you on? Did you try the CAB above to see if that works?
Other Setting
Don't you have to enable "Enable advanced networkfuntionality" under Start-Settings-Connections- USb to PC also when tethering?

Mine is checked so I would assume so as my internet sharing works.
Jambrose, thanks. I guess I'll just live with this, until I upgrade to DCD's new rom.
Alltel, Yes

Will this also work got BT tethering? USB is not an option for mac users as no drivers are available
EDIT: Confirmed it works with BT as well. However, the connection doesn't seem to be stable enough for online gaming. It works for a while, then randomly the game will stop receiving data. This might be Sprint trying to curb people from playing WoW on their network.
I think it may be in that case that it may be bluetooth, not sprint that's giving you trouble.
I'm kinda lost....all this started after I updated the ROM now to 6.1 or whatever but when I open internet sharing the only option I have is PC Connection:bluetooth or USB.. b4 I had that plus sprint pcs data package or PAM. What or how do I fix that?
i can't download the cab files
any body getting this page or msg?

im new to any form of htc or palm(any windows based phone). my blackberry i could do a bunch of stuff without having internet through various simulators and whatnot. i was interested in getting the touch because i believed it had wifi, but know i realized that it doesnt(still havent purchased it.)
so my questions are
will the phone be able to receive a internet signal through bluetooth? as in i connect my phone to my macbook, i should receive a connection.
if i connect it to the computer via usb will i be able to download applications just like if i had the internet plan?? i really do not need the phone to be able to have internet at all times, just for downloading apps. i mainly use smartphones for there planning and scheduling abilities.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
just some side info, switching from sprint is not an option, nor is getting a information plan, as im a broke college kid.
Not sure about the bluetooth, it should be possible though.
As for the USB yes, infact if you are downloading applications do this over your regular internet if you don't have unlimited wireless internet from your provider. Applications can be quite big and you can hit your download limit very easily this way.
thanks a bunch, i went and checked the phone out today and i liked it a bunch. once again, and to not start another new thread thats probably answered somewhere, is it possible to send ringtones to the phone through usb?

Sure, you can do that and much more (including internet connection sharing) by USB or Blue Tooth, through ActiveSync...
great, oct 1st is the day...already bought a case and microsd card..

HTC announced the Touch 3g and Touch HD which look very similar to the Vogue. I'm not sure when these devices will be released but they have the features you seem to be looking for (WiFi). If you wait a little bit, you may, or may not be happier with the 3g or HD.
Just some information in case you never heard of these devices yet.
http://www.htc.com/www/default.aspx
EDIT: I am not sure about connecting a vogue to a mac, as it requires activesync to connect which is a Microsoft product. Most newer macs allow you to run windows xp, so it should be no problem. Also, when the phone is connected via USB, it will not use your regular DSL/Cable connection to access the internet. You will need to download the applications on your computer first, then transfer to the phone via activesync.
There's also the Mogul which is out now that has built in wifi. Prices are low and should be dropping as newer phones come out. Good for a broke college student.

Actually the phone can connect to the Internet via desktop DSL/Cable when they are USB linked.... but you'd never do that just to get apps on you phone. It's really only useful for syncing email to your phone when you don't have a data plan for the the phone.
Sprint HTC Touch internet thru bluetooth
So has anyone been able to figure out how to connect to the internet thru bluetooth to your PC/MAC? For example: If you are in an area that doesn't have cell coverage at all (Sprint or roaming) if you have an internet connection on your PC/MAC (DSL, Cable, etc.) can you connect to the computer thru bluetooth and access the internet on the Touch? It would be great for VOIP like Skype(out).
So I am not asking how to connect your computer to the internet thru your phone. Just the opposite, actually. Specifically asking for MAC.

Yeah, I read too quickly and missed the BT requirement.
I tether using bluetooth with my mac book, you can use Internet connection sharing or pda net, and use the btpan feature.
Hi,
I'm looking for a software solution that allows to connect an Android phone via USB in order to use the connection (WIFI or cable) active on the PC. It can be seen as a reverse-tether.
This was possible by default on every windows mobile phone via active sync.
Is it possible with Android?
I'd like to ask the same question

Find pdanet on the android market. Free version only lasts a month but its worth the 20 or so to buy it. Plug the phone into the pc, run the app, run the software on the pc, and voila you'll have a wired tether.

Ok but that's not what I'm looking for. Pdanet allows you to use the 3G internet connection of the phone with your laptop, what I want is the opposit: use the active connection of the PC with the phone.
Ahhh ok, my bad. Should've read a lil better and saw reverse tether lol. Maybe PM a dev asking if that's possible, or post in a general section if anyone would be willing to make an app like that (if possible) for you.

I use the application "Virtual Router"
with which I can set up my pc/laptop as an access point. I set up a SS-ID and a passkey. Then I use my phone to connect using WiFi. That way my phone connects to my pc using WiFi which makes it possible to use the LAN internet my laptop has
phone -----WiFi-----> Laptop --------LAN-------> Internet
Hope it helps
PC Internet > Router > Wifi > Android : Connectify
Laptop Internet > WIfi > Android : Connectify
PC Internet > USB Cable > Android : no idea! (my ex HD2 can do this flawlessly, with Winmo ofcourse)
Hey guys I need some suggestions, what I want to do is use my computer downstairs to play wow. But I don't have a cord that that reaches all the way up stairs to the modem.
We do have wifi but this computer doesn't. So I want to use my MT4G as a USB Wifi adapter. I also don't want to buy one. I also don't receive any data service here. So I need to run of the wifi
I've tried Pda.net but it was way to slow to run anything, the rom i'm using is miui and when i try to tether through usb my comp says it cant find the program to install.
So if you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

Need wow that bad, you can teheter and use your phone as wifi hotspot but can't use it as a wifi card the usb ones are 20 bucks go buy one
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The answer is trivial:
Have your phone with WiFi connected, plug the phone, choose USB tether mode, and it will share its WiFi with the computer.
Tethering shares whatever connectivity the phone has at the moment. Obviously you can't share WiFi connectivity over WiFi, so WiFi hotspot won't work for you, but you can share WiFi connectivity over USB.
No program is needed, if MIUI guys coded it correctly - the virtual device is RNDIS, any Windows should have drivers for it.
If you have Mac - go back to Sense ROM that can share USB with Macs using some other virtual device mode.
Apologies if this is already known, but I couldn't find anything on it when searching.
Many years ago I bought the paid version of FoxFi when I had my Razr before root options were available. On a whim, I installed it to see if the USB tethering would work with PdaNet. Not only did I find that USB tethering works, but WiFi direct also works under the PdaNet options. I know this isn't a totally free option (I think the free version of FoxFi either limits total data and/or turns off intermittently), but it does work very well. You can also download PdaNet for your computer from your phone and transfer it via USB cable - so you can still make this work if you have no other internet connection than your phone. Hope this helps.

I also have the paid version and have been trying to get it to work with my Firestick with no luck... I looked for a tutorial on how to set it up but couldn't find one. I tried WPS and inputting the password manually. What did your successfully connect to?

PdaNet seems to have to be installed on the client device. In my case a computer. PDANet can be downloaded from PDANet.co (not .com). To my knowledge PdaNet only works on Mac, Windows, and Android - so a TV (if that's what you're using) may not work. I am currently posting this from my computer using PdaNet + FoxFi as it's the only internet connection I have available during the week.
I didn't have any luck with the WPS - not sure where the issue is/was, but entering the password in manually has been very trouble free. I can watch Netflix and Youtube without issue, but Twitch seems to have some issues. I haven't tried gaming yet (though the connection was good enough to get my games updated) - but hope to soon.

Cool, yes, I got it working on a windows computer, but wasn't able to get it to work on the Firestick streaming device. Not a TV.
Can you use Wi-Fi Direct to your PC and then use the WiFi share function to your firestick?
If you have Windows 10 on your PC you can usb tether (or wifi direct) the computer to your phones internet, then use the windows 10 mobile hotspot option to broadcast the signal to your other devices. I have my firestick hooked up with this setup, and my Xbox 1 too.
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------
If you don't have Windows 10 you can tether your PC, then go to network and sharing center, click on change adapter settings, then right click the tethered connection with internet, hit properties, then the sharing tab, click the box on that says "allow other network users blah blah blah", then select the other connection that you wish to have internet. Before I started using Windows 10 this is how I would hook up my Xbox 1 through the Ethernet connection via PDANET+ usb tether. Works perfectly.
So I noticed it doesn't work on the Sticks. But it does work on the Pendant and Cube. The latter devices show a VPN prompt on the first time. I think that may have something to do with it.
