I know you can wifi tether and I know about PDANet. Are there any other options for tethering over USB? Something minimal and free?
Using your phone as a modem (USB tethering)
You need your SIM card inserted on your phone to use the data connection.
Before you can use your phone as a modem, be sure to install HTC Sync on your computer first.
Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
On the Connect to PC screen, select USB tethering, and then tap Done.

Hello everybody..!I'm wondering how can i make my kaiser(tytn2) phone to connect my laptop to the Internet.What i want to say is that i have a Router on my desktop pc, so i go to my laptop and connect my tytn2 with the laptop via usb(activesync).I want to make laptop to connet to the internet via tytn2!So i want tytn2 to replace a wireles card that i could connect to my laptop via WiFi with this card!Someone who know the way to do it?
It's called tethering. Be careful of usage...if you don't pay for the tethering plan, many providers will charge you for going over a predetermined amount of data transfer. Used sparingly they'll never know.

I guess he wants to use Wifi, not mobile connnection. So, use the phone as a USB Wifi adapter...
I use WMWiFiRouter and it works very well. It creates a wireless access point that uses your phones data connection and requires no cords to tether. It even allows you to share your connection with more than one computer.

Hello,
I wanted to know how to tethering using CM5.
I have a htc magic (vodafone 32B) and a laptop with bluethooth.
I turn off my wifi and turn on the bluethooth on my laptop. I sync my phone and my laptop with bluetooth. But it will not let me browse the web on my laptop via 3G.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong.
Yes I turned tethering on in the settings.
Umm. im prety sure the tethering included in cm5 is unly usb meaning you have to plug your phone into your laptop with a usb cable to get internet.

if your version of cm5 doesnt have it you can download Wireless Tethering for root users but it uses WiFi not Bluetooth you can get the file here make sure you set up your phone to install from unknown sources. but i do believe that cm5 comes with Wireless Tethering check your application list

How to use internet thtough usb from pc with i9000?I`m new with android,with WM and activesync everything goes easy...and here how?
same question here, tried a lot of things but nothing worked
AFAIK it is not yet possible at this time, just too much stuff to do to get it working
fastest way is to do a WiFi with your PC/laptop
there are software for the PC to make it into an AP even if you don't have a router
Froyo does comes with usb tethering option, but I don't have the chance to try it

Theres an option in About Phone in setting under usb setting. Select mobile internet, select that and plug into pc via usb cable. Wait for about 30sec and vola, you are all ready to go. No need for wifi.

don't really understand your question but...
For 2.1 - Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > PC Internet
Plug in your phone to your PC via the USB cable and wait for the drivers to install, once it's done you're able to tether using your phone's mobile network.
OR
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile AP
Configure it, turn it on and connect it like a Wifi using your phone's mobile network as a hotspot.
For 2.2 - Settings > Wireless And Network > Tethering > USB Tethering [Checked]
Plug in your phone to your PC via the USB cable and wait for the drivers to install, once it's done you're able to tether using your phone's mobile network.
OR
Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile AP
Configure it, turn it on and connect it like a Wifi using your phone's mobile network as a hotspot.
hope that's what you're asking for.
what does PC Internet mean here ??
using pc's internet to cellphone
or
using cellphone's internet to pc ????
On WM PDA, the PDA can use the computer's internet for connectivity. However on Android, this feature is not implemented by anyone.
So what if you don't have WiFi, like me? My PC is connected to the internet through a USB modem.
When i connect my Galaxy S to the PC (Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > PC Internet) i get a (very fast) LAN connection but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there anyway to configure either phone or PC so i can download or update apps from the market to my phone using the PC's connection (thus saving on my data limit)?????
Yes you can use your galaxy as a modem to connect your pc to internet by setting the usb setting to pc internet.

This I know, but the question is can I connect my phone to my PC's internet???
Done lots of research on this, Simple answer is NO you cannot share your PC's internet via USB to SGS. Winmo users like I dearly miss this feature from ActiveSync.
some newer laptops includes Ad Hoc WiFi
as in Share the laptop WiFi with another device nearby that uses WiFi
so the laptop acts as the AP
there are software for older laptop as well to do the same
Is it possible to connect to my own wifi, and then use my usb cable to tether that wifi to my computer?
My current setup is, i have a computer that is too far to be wired to the router, and i dont have a wireless dongle to use.. for now.
So, can i connect my captivate to the router (using wifi) and then tether from my phone to my pc, would it use my wifi data? or my 3g data?

This root app will let you tether via usb but I believe you can only use your 3G data connection and not your wifi.
if u need a temp solution easy tether lite will do it for ya for a trial period, $10 for full license. and this does turn your phone into a usb wifi adapter but u need software on your PC to run this

How to configure my Galaxy S to connect my laptop to internet using USB connection to my Galaxy S? I installed Samsung USB drivers on my Win7 laptop and connect Galaxy S via USB. I went to Options -> Wireless and network -> Connection Sharing -> ticked USB sharing but error pops up on my Galaxy S.
What am I doing wrong? Did you succedded to share the connection?
I am using 2.3.6 JW4.
Thanks.
If you want to share your phone's mobile data connection via USB,
then,
1. use the pc data cable, connect the multifunction jack on your phone to the laptop.
2. in idle mode, select Applications - Settings - Wireless and network - Tethering and portable hotspot - usb tethering
3. to stop, clear usb tethering.
