Almost teathering app

[Gorro]

Looks like if you have Vista 64 bit you pretty much can't do it. Please help me find 64 bit diver for usb if I am wrong.

They don't want us tethering in order to keep network traffic done.

There will eventually be a number of third party apps to do this, but that will threaten your bandwidth soft limit, and cause you to get your bandwidth throttled back by your carrier.

What device name does it list when you are installing the driver? I never get the add new hardware wizard popup and when I try to install it manually it give me problems.

Here is some info I dug up on sharing your internet connection(not tethering). Its actually now as hard as it looks. Things to remember are:

This is for informational purposes only, we here at Android Community are not responsible for content here, nor are we responsible for anything you do with the information.

This is very experimental, it doesn't always work. Use at your own risk.

• Install the app on your android phone, by clicking here (from your phone browser of course)

• You might have to change your settings to permit apps that don't come from the Google Market by going to your home screen and choosing MENU > Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources.

• Turn USB debugging on on your phone.

• On your G1 go to the home screen, press MENU > Settings > Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging.

• Follow the instructions here to install the Android driver - you'll need to do this on Windows & Linux but apparently not on the Mac.

• Download and install the Android SDK for your computer platform. Alternatively if you are on Windows and don't want a 100 meg download, just get the ADB utility from here

• Plug your phone into your computer

• Choose Proxy App from your phone's menu

• Press the "Start Proxy" button on your phone

• Move to the directory that has the adb utility, using inside the Sdk Tools folder and run

Windows: adb forward tcp:8080 localabstract:Proxy
Linux/Mac: ./adb forward tcp:8080 localabstract:Proxy

• Now you should have a proxy server running on port 8080 of your own computer that will relay the information over the Android Debug Bridge to the Proxy App which will relay it on to the internet.

• Set your firefox proxy : Options > Advanced > Network > Manual Proxy Configuration

HTTP Proxy: localhost
Port: 8080

Leave the others blank

• Enjoy the slow slow EDGE network, or let me know if you have glorious fast 3g coverage!

• Remember to disable your proxy settings in firefox if you want to stop using your phone.

Please admin if we can somehow merge both threads, that would be great. =]
