Is there a wired tether app out there for use on our D3 that successfully works? I'm running the latest Gummy ROM.
I use Easy Tether and it works perfectly, am running stock rom. hope that helps
Have you tried the built in USB tether in the Wireless/Networks settings area?
Not certain about Gummy but most custom roms seem to have it working.
PDANet
I have been using PDAnet for more than a year, rooted, unrooted, stock ROM and it works well. Recently added a wi-fi feature. Reasonable cost to support the app.

Built in will not work unless you buy the service from Verizon. I use PDA Net. Works very well. My only complaint is that you have to enable USB debugging to make it work.

i've tried the built in and its not working, at least not that i can tell: i plug it in, enable USB debugging, and then disable mass storage, then plug it in, check off enable the built in tether, and restart my computer and it doesn't seem to notice it.....am i doing something wrong?

Try setting the USB to PC mode.
Also, make sure you have the drivers installed:
32 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?71c12qc4a1svqza
64 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?8rb7bpvp2b9vy2f
When you enable USB tether it should automatically initialize the Motorola virtual network adapter on your computer.
If you still do not see anything then it must not work with your rom and a 3rd party app would probably be easiest.

Once again, this WILL NOT WORK with a stock Droid 3. Assuming everything works properly, you will sort of get an Internet connection on the computer...sort of...But the only place it will take you is to a Verizon Wireless page telling you you "If you would like to subscribe to mobile Broadband Connect or 3G Mobile Hotspot call..." with a couple of phone numbers and also telling you that its an extra $20 per month for this service.

Yes. OP said he is running Gummy, not stock.
Verizon users report that this works on Eclipse and Maverick and they do not subscribe. It may or may not work on Gummy but it does not hurt to try.
It should work. It isn't too much different than CM9 or AOKP.

Does anyone know if this follow scenario is possible?
I want to connect the phone up to my computer via BT or the USB cord, and then the phone will connect via WiFi (802.11b/g) to a wireless router. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. It can be done with a program like wifi internet sharing. I have not used it myself, but NRG has it in his newest rom. You will want to link up with the usb cord because anytime I have wifi and BT going at the same time (internet wifi and BT headphones) there is a conflict. I have also heard that it isn't a great program, but you can find out for yourself. Hope that helps.

I have to say that it does work. Im using NRG latest Energy rom, july 29, and i can share the internet from my fone to the laptop through wifi and connect the laptop to the internet. basically the fone works like a router... or u can also connect and share internet through usb... it seems to work just a lil bit faster.
I'm not sure how else to explain this. I'm NOT looking to use the cell phone's data plan. I AM looking to use the phone as a usb wireless (802.11b/g) adapter for the computer.
Anything like this?
The Wifi internet sharing is attempting the use of the data plan (no good for my situation).

u can always try to "obtain" a copy of wmwifirouter
This is just my opinion. It might be wrong!
If you've a computer that can connect to your cell phone with Bluetooth.
I'm quite sure that the computer must have Wifi function also.
Why you want to do some easiest thing to be much more complicated!
@navi_mapper:
Not always; I've seen some laptops with a Bluetooth only card, a WiFi only card, and Bluetooth/WiFi combo cards.
It likely the purchaser may not have chosen a combo option or the laptop came with Bluetooth only. Worst case, the laptop may have shipped with a legacy WiFi device and is too costly to replace.

Note that there are early versions of WMWifiRouter (up to V.91, IIRC) still available that were released without encumberance. While it might not be Chainfire's preference, it's not exactly discussing "warez" to use an older version. Granted - the person you're cautioning seems to be insinuating that you get a cracked version...
I recommend paying for it, though - the supported paid version is a lot more reliable (and you can actually uninstall it without borking your network setup). It also offers a very nice USB-to-Wifi interface. I think the free ICSControl offered elsewhere on this forum does the same (USB-to-Wifi), but in my brief experience with that program it was not as reliable as WMWR.

wifi router not seen by some computers
any ideas why wifi router works on some of my computers but not others. I am using it right now, but my computer downstairs does not see it at all. Have same issue at work some computers see the wifi signal some do not. Seems to be a windows security setting? Works great on computers that see it.
I followed the directions here:
google *com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134
but could not get the drivers to properly install. Has anyone else tried and was able to get it to work? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the drivers working?
For me the drivers are giving me cannot finish installing error.
Edit: I'm using Windows XP by the way. So any other XP people having trouble?

No, no new option. I just plugged it up. One thing tho, I have updated my SDK when the 2.2 SDK came out, but I wasn't asked to update my USB driver, so that's probably irrelevant. It worked just like before the update.

<<---Tethering...
Does anyone know any hacks to get it working on Mac OS X?
USB tethering and wifi hotspot both working flawlessly with a netbook using Windows XP home here.
Maybe the OP error was trying to install the tethering driver for the mass storage device, or the adb device that pops up when connecting the Nexus One if you have "USB debugging" on. I suggest connecting the phone to usb, ignoring any popups that appear asking for drivers (if any) and then active USB tethering on the phone, a new device asking for a driver should pop up. The driver goes there.
Hotspot and Tethering worked fine for me testing with a Windows 7 netbook.

Wifi tethering is built into the leaked 2.2 rom. Just go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile AP
If not on 2.2, this is the best I've seen so far. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
USB tethering is built into the phone.
For 2.2: Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering.
For 2.1: Settings> Applications > USB Settings
Isn't the built in usb tethering in 2.1 so you can use at&t's subscription tethering service? If not I wasted $10 on EasyTeather. (which works like a CHAMP btw.)
PDANet adds the bonus of being able to text using your computer also. Costs more if I remember right.
For sure on froyo MobilAP is full of win.

As for tethering direct from the USB, when I go to Settings > Applications > USB Connections, I only get the following:
Kies
Media Player
Mass Storage
Ask on Connection
No option to tether...
Ideas?

Samsung's i896 Captivate (Rogers version) allows for wireless tethering, stock:
Settings -» Wireless and network -» Mobile AP settings -» [hit the checkbox]
AFAIK, PDANet is a free-download:
junefabrics [dot] com/android/download.php [you know what to do]
This works for me, I've tested it: very easy setup.
Could it be, that the i897 (AT&T) rendition of the Captivate does not include wireless tethering by default...?

Got WiFi Up and Running...But...
OK OK...thanks to the thread WIFI is up and running on the captivate (tethering I am still clueless). But I am using the latest version of WIFI TETHERING and it appears to be working fine. I am using wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk version on this site:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
BUT:
Here is the real pickle now....it works GREAT (about 2MBPS) until I try to bring a game up to play (like BF2). Then, the internet simply stops. Any suggestions on how to bypass this?
I know this sounds like a real trivial question...but the AT&T cap on data cards simply devastated our internet in my house (we live in the sticks). I am trying to find a good alternative.
To summarize:
Internet now works on WIFI until I try to bring a game up to play (like BF2). Then, the internet simply stops. Any suggestions on how to bypass this?
One possibility for you would be to install Cognition. It enables both Mobile AP and USB Tethering, among other things. You have two choices, Eclair or Froyo. Cognition 2.1.7 is Eclair and includes the JH7 rom update. This version is completely stable. The Cognition 2.2 Froyo beta versions are also good but there are a couple of issues.
I have had Cognition 2.1.6 installed since the day Froyo was first leaked. I decided not to intall Froyo until the release version is available. My version of Cognition runs fantastic. There are zero issues.
When you have USB Tethering insatlled, there will be an additional option in the USB Settings screen: Samsung Kies, Media player, Mass storage, "PC Internet" and Ask on Connection. PC Internet is the Tethering option.
I havn't used either wifi mobile ap, or usb tethering much, so I don't know how well either of them works, but just thought this might be one possible solution for you to try.

I have both working setup yesterday via Perception. All I did is go to Wireless and Networks and chose MobileAP. That's for the wireless. Then for the usb, I chose Tethering. My windows installed an Samsung NDIS driver for the device.
It works perfectly on the internet. However on VPN, it works but I get disconnected in less than 2 minutes. I am able to remote desktop to a Windows machine as well as ssh to a unix machine but after a minute, my access is gone. The remote machine wouldn't respond anymore. I had to disconnect my VPN then reconnect again. Not sure why.
I can't speak for the stock ROM since I've been on Cognition for quite a while and now Perception. However, I just tried the USB Tethering on Perception... plugged in the USB cable, selected Mass Storage... then went into Settings->Wifi->Tethering and turned on USB Tethering. Took Windows a minute to install the drivers and whatever else it decides to do when you plug something new in and withing about a minute and a half, was connected to the internet via my phone. (typing this on it right now actually)
I believe Cognition had the same option available... but can't be 100% sure since I never used it prior to just now.
Have also used the wifi tethering without issue since some of the earlier cognition 2.2 releases.
As the title states, I'm having some trouble tethering off of my Hero. I use the stock USB Cable to my netbook, I have the application called "EasyTether Lite" which obviously is the free version of "EasyTether"...
Now I downloaded the computer application as they requested, and I have the application on my phone. It connects but drops the connection quite frequently, how can I tell if its the application or the phone? Can anyone suggest a new application (free preferably)?
Thank you in advance.
hey idk if your phone is rooted or not. but check out Wireless Tether. i think its free. but if you are wanting to conserve battery and have your phone wired. check out PdaNet.
its pretty awesome you dont have to change anything on the PC to get it to work. GL

+1. Wireless Tether from the Market is probably the easiest and best route to go, but you do need to be rooted.

I don't know about the release of cm your using, but CM supports USB tether natively. There is an option for it in settings, I think it is under the "wireless and network" settings, just use the checkbox, enable usb debugging and plug the USB into your netbook, it should find the network connection all by itself if the tether checkbox is checked.
Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...
I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem
Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".
Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.
I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.
Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...
The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.
I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.
Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.
