Tethering does not work on my WF. I tested it both with XP and Win7 machines.
They all had proper drivers installed. The computer discovers a new network but it does not offer internet connectivity. The 3g internet in the phone works just fine.

I also discovered a strange thing. If I make a hard reset (factory defaults). Tethering works, but just until first phone restart. I talked to my GSM provider - they do not block it. I could use my sim card in another nokia phone for internet too. I talked to HTC support from London and they said it could be provider issue. But not, checked. What now? Can it be so specifically broken?

I have Android 2.1 - update1. And it is Unrevoked.

I've had the very same issue but now that I've got Froyo 2.2 installed, it works again! Even after rebooting the phone a couple of times. I'm actually writing this while tethering after two phone reboots (after trying tethering on the first boot) :)
