It is still not clear to me if it is possible to use wifi tether with ubuntu. I saw a video where they show how to tether over bleutooth with windows (PAN), so if that is possible, should it also not work in linux? I can connect over bluetooth PAN with my discarded winmo device.
Maybe related, I have paired my device to ubuntu, but it seems unable to connect. Does someone else with ubuntu managed to actually connect his hero? I am using modaco 2.2.

Thus far, I've been unable to use my AT&T Tilt as a wireless modem for my Vista laptop. I've partnered them in the MS Bluetooth Stack, then gone to Windows --> Internet sharing and set it to bluetooth pan and media net, then on my computer, gone to "connect to" and opened the bluetooth pan connection. Unfortunately, at this point, my phone doesn't show up as a devic for bluetooth pan. If anyone can offer up some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
I would also like to add that Bluetooth PAN also doesn't work for me in XP (SP2). It doesn't show up in the the Bluetooth Device Wizard (the one used to add devices with PAN services), but clearly broadcasting is enabled in the options.
Also, just as a side note, I can't get USB tethering to work either...I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this tethering problem. Thanks.
Got it working. I have no idea why, but for some reason when i tried repairing it for the sixth time or so, vista suddenly decided it had drivers to install for my tilt, and it went ahead and installed the modem driver. now everything seems to be working.
By Bluetooth or USB? Or did you get both working?
Why bother with Bluetooth or USB headaches?? Just use WMWiFiRouter and connect to your phone over Wifi.
Has anyone achieved to tether from their nexus to a mpb?

I have, I use the Wireless tether app with the bluetooth PAN setup. You need to re-pair your phone with the MBP while the tethering is turned on for it to detect and setup the Bluetooth PAN stuff. I was unable to reliably to get the Wi-Fi setup to work reliably and have found the bluetooth works a treat...
YMMV, hope this helps..!
Works fine with both wifi and bluetooth on my Macbook.
Thanks for your replies. I haven't got mine yet because I just ordered it yesterday and it will still take a few days to get here, but I had tried once with a friend's and couldn't get it working. I'll post back when it arrives.
Anyone had luck with a wired tether? Cyanogen's built in one is apparently Windows only (maybe Linux too, I'm not sure). But I'm on Modaco's r21 now anyways. Tried PDA net too, but it errors out on my OS X client...not sure what went wrong there
You have the pdanet client installed on the computer also right? I know for a fact the built in and wired-tether for root users is only compatible with windows and linux.
I would try to use a virtual machine and bridge the connection, that could work.
Wired tether works flawlessly on linux. I'm sure there's some file in Mac (it's Unix after all) which can be edited to make it detect the nexus as some kind of modem. Any mac expert over here?
Jumping on board hoping for a tethering solution for macs with CM
I use wireless tether and it works flawlessly on my MBP! It is straightforward, you fire up wireless tether on the Nexus and the MBP will see it as a wireless hotspot! Select the Android wireless hotspot on your MBP using your Airport and your off and running. Could not be easier! I am using Enom's Official 1.8.1 rom!
I use PDANet over BT with my MBP and it works fine.

Is the wireless tethering feature included in CM 5.0.6?
Hello all,
I can't setup working BT tethering under Mac OSX (10.5). Could you help me ? N1 uses the newest cyanogen mod stable rom, and I have "Internet tethering" sets to on. Both devices are paired, but what should I do next on OSX side ? Should I install any 3rd party software such as pdanet ?
Is that tethering different than regular bluetooth connection using embedded phone modem ? I'm asking because in Network configuration in OSX Preferences I have BT interface, where I have to provide phone no., login and password.
Thanks in advance, Tomek.
Well I'm pretty new here, but from what I know there is no bluetooth tethering option. Sure you can pair with others bluetooth devices, but there is no stock internet tethering via bluetooth. Once again, afaik.
The stock Froyo tethering is very simple....it turns your N1 into a wireless base station. If you want to do usb tethering then you can use pdanet. I think pdanet also supports bluetooth tethering, but I've never tried it.
Thanks for your reply.
I wonder why Internet tethering option has description "... via USB/BT" ?
We're talking about CyanogenMod 5.0.8-N1
I'd love to know this as well.
The Cyanogenmod 5.0.8 changelog lists that he added BT tethering, available both via Bluetooth PAN, and Bluetooth DUN, using code from Stefan Tomanek aka wertarbyte. It's something called 'omni-tether.'
But I've yet to get it to work. I tried asking in the CM forum, but got no response.
I've searched and searched, and I hope that someone has figured this out.
Has anyone tethered their Captivate to a Mac? USB tether only please. I know of Wifi tethering, but I like to enjoy my battery when I am done with my laptop.
I have it working in WinXP with Kies, but I would like to get it working on my Mac.
Thanks
Unfortunately, my snow leopard device is DOA right now, so I can't test it, but I think it should be as simple as plugging it in through USB when you have "PC Internet" chosen as your USB settings. I know it works instantly on Linux (without any drivers) and on windows with the drivers installed.
According to most references, a mac doesn't require any sort of "drivers" or kexts to get our phone compatible with it, so I would suggest just plugging it in and disabling your other connections to check
no go, it finds it as a modem, but won't connect... I found something online that said to add settings here and there, but it still isn't working...
Yes, it works on my Mac computer. Either you can configure it with complicated settings without any other software, or you can use PDAnet. You can get it on the market but it is censored by AT&T so you will need market enabler or be in airport mode with the wifi on
Hi, I'm trying to use wired tether on my tbolt but in my computer in getting the error limited or no connectivity any ideas why?
Me too. How do we tbolt users get wired tether to work?
What version you guys trying? I am using 2.0.7 and it works great.
I'm using 1.4 from this page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list

I tried this and it fails to "Identify" in windows.
I can't seem to get this to work either, I would rather use this than the Internet Connection Mode
Anyone make any progress on this issue yet?
I'm having a similar issue. When I use Wired Tether, some of my applications cannot connect to the internet. My web browsing and e-mail works fine. When I connect via Wireless Tether, everything seems to work correctly. One particular application I'm struggling with is Tradestation. It logs me in fine, but cannot retrieve any market data it just says "loading" forever. However, when I connect to Wireless Tether, it loads instantly. Any ideas? I'm using this with Windows 7 x64 Professional. It installed the NDIS drivers included with the OS by default.
EDIT: I tried connecting with a USB760, and it works fine via dial-up and NDIS settings. No issues. I've also used a UML290 before and had no issues. Seems to be isolated to Wired Tether. Also, I had the same issue with the HTC Incredible.
