[Q] How can i surf the web on my PC using the 3g on my phone?

---

So instead of using proxys, etc at school, I'd much rather just use the 3g off my phone. Because it's quite obvious the software my school uses(Lightpseed Systems), is on the network itself(Nothing physically on the PC)....

Soooo, I know i can WIFI tether, but how can i tether via a USB cable?
What software is required on the PC?
And once i've USB tethered, how do switch to it on the windows machine?

Thanks a ton in advance for any help<3

Try this......

step 1:Settings~> Wireless and Network
settings~> Tethering and portable
hotspot~> then Tick USB Tethering.

Step 2: Settings~> Wireless and Network
settings~> Mobile Networks~> then Tick
Use Packet Data......

LIKE=THANKS

There is no packet data tick...I have network mode, and system select(cdma roaming mode)....

That's a good question. I've always just tethered to my laptop on like a long car ride n used the wifi tether but just kept it tethered to keep it charging. I'm curious as to how you'd enable it over a desktop PC with a LAN connection. Turn off the network adaptor? But I highly doubt a school computer would leave access to that.

Yeah thats what I was thinking.

I think i'm gonna try clockwork's app for usb tethering...Heard some good stoof about it I'll let ya know how it goes.

I can just see this REALLY handy for anyone who has a institution that blocks websites, or PC's like hotel computers that are stupid.
