You recommended the exact opposite of what he wanted
Does your PC have wireless? Is it windows or linux or mac? Would be kind of tough without wireless (or bluetooth) me thinks.

no its a desktop pc w/o wireless. and is running windows vista ultimate sp2

The only way I think it would be possible is using ICS with wireless, then connecting the G1 to that. Don't think it will work at all via the USB connection.

Wired Tethered App?

Anyone have any suggestions for a wired tethered app? I've used PDAnet and Easytether, but both have trials that eventually block secure sites. I use wireless tether but it makes my phone hot as heck...any tips?

have you tried wired tether http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/ I'm assuming you are rooted since you've tried wireless tether. Also the froyo roms have built in wired tether in the settings.

I'm using Froyo v39...what do I need to do to use the wired tether on that?

menu/settings/wireless and network settings/tethering and portable hotspot/ then check the usb tethering while phone is plugged in and it should connect automatically.

Will this work on any computer without having to install anything?

I think that you need a driver installed for windows...not sure exactly cause I use linux and it works without needing anything else. If you already had pdanet installed it probably uses the same driver but not 100% sure about that. Best way to find out is to try it....
from the wired tether link i posted earlier...
This program has been tested with Linux and Microsoft Windows clients. The client needs to support RNDIS. Windows Vista/7 comes with RDNIS-support out of the box. Windows XP requires to download and install a driver. I recommend using the HTC Sync (for the HTC Hero) which contains the required driver. The driver is located under C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\XP_x86 in case it's not automatically installed when plugging in.

I still think the htc sync driver is the same one pdanet and easytether installs so you should be fine.

Just wanted to add my confirmation that HTCSync is all that's needed to install to get the correct driver(s) for wired tethering.

[Q] two Gingerbread Problems

Hey Guys
i have to questions about gingerbread. I´ve at the moment this version installed:NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.3_NAND_(Android-2.3.2)_update, but i think it is a more general issue.
Is it possible the have internet access via usb cable connection and windows7!?
In froyo i was able to select between my sd card, loading and internet passthrough.
Second thing is: i like to have this app. someone knows the name of it?

Is this as issue with all Gingerbread versions? Which version is recommendable?

Is nothing else like wifi tethering. In some builds works only after the installation of an appropriate application such as "wired tether 1.4" (market,google), unless you mean about the shared internet connection on your device from your win7 via usb...

no as far as i understood is tethering the other way around. tethering is the connection of my computer via mobile internet connection but i wanna have the other way around...
i want to use the usb cable to connect my mobile to the internet via win7

I don't think you can do that. And the "application" you're talking about is actually part of the Sense roms that you can download. You can't get it on your current rom, no matter what/how much you try.

You could use vnc and connect your phone to your pc that way. But then you would see the desktop of your pc on your phone and remote control your pc.
Not the same as sharing the internet connection but depending on what you want to do it may be sufficient.

the USB tethering your talking about, is only for HTC Sense roms. stock android 2.3 doesnt have that feature other than wifi tethering.

Like MS Active sync for Windows.
Can't do it without software on PC side, so it's not possible for now.

The only reason I left the NexusHD ROM was because I didn't like how I couldn't manage connections through the dropdown menu that you posted the picture of. Currently on MDJ CM7 V2.6

to the OP, you could simply connect you phone via wifi to your home router and get internet access that way.
it imho would be cumbersome to remain wired to your pc for internet access passthrough.

hope i don't have these problems when i try it out!

JI6 is the leaked version with all kind of problems. Try installing drivers and reinstall. I'm on Win 7x64 and never had an issue connecting.

To be honest i don't think its the phone... bcuz i am able to connect it to my labtop and it seems to work its just the computer does not pick this up.. Anything and everything else works on the computer other than my phone...

Have you tried to change USB cables? The one I got from ATT died fairly quickly, after I replaced it, my phone connected again to my computer.

The cable i have is the original samsung cable and as mentioned earlier when connecting it to my labtop it works... I have been reading up a bit on other forums and i think it has to do with my computer not being able to recognize the device.. hopefully i can find something useful and post it here to help anybody else. if anyone else got any ideas, please share...

yeah, i did all that. the pc says that a "a usb device connected to the compyter has malfunctioned" after some reasearch, apparently windows xp does not support tethering it needs some kind of fix. what i need to know is how to do it.

Just buy a 10 dollar wireless USB antenna and tether via wifi

You really should update your OS. If its an old pc, try Xubuntu (lightweight Ubuntu especially for older pc). Just a thought.
