I tried with the free version and it didn’t work. I wasn’t ready for a $30 purchase of the pro version. Besides, I am not sure it would it either. Since my failed attempt, I did pick up the pro version of EasyTether. It was $10 and so far I haven’t gotten it to work. I will keep at it because this type of connection interests me.
I travel a lot nowadays, and I don’t always a WiFi or LAN connection. I remember seeing a few tutorials about how people were tethering Macs to their iPhones. I started to wonder if I could do this with my PC and my droid. I did a search and found EasyTether.
I will admit, I was a tad bit skeptically. I should have recorded it, but it took me five minutes. This will come in handy when I am out and about. If you are like me, at any given time you need to get connected and a smartphone will not due.
Have you tried tethering with your Android?

I tried using pdanet and couldnt get past the mtu error. Then i tried foxfi and enabled sharing on my wireless network and success!!! Downfall is the recent update makes the free version limited.

Hey Zack,
I wasn’t able to play with this much since the post. FoxFi seems very cool; thanks for pointing that one out. I think most carriers are allowing you to turn your phone into a mobile hotspot with a simple click of a button (or soon will be). This project lost stem for me because of a couple of things.
Zack, again, thanks for the feedback. I just checked the price tag for FoxFi $6.97. That is a bit pricey for an app. Pdanet and EasyTether are more expensive, but I’m not sure how much better they are with quality. At least we have choices right.
