I installed the new leaked ROM from TMO, but noticed that USB connection sharing is not working. That is to say, whenever I try to connect it starts up the bluetooth manager and does not give me the option to choose a USB connection. Weird! I'm working to find a solution.
Anyone else have this problem?
Are you using Internet Sharing? Because I just launched the Internet Sharring App and was given the usual option of USB or Bluetooth and which Network connection I wanted to use.
Found a solution. I was using the ICS program that came with the ROM, then installed an ICS from these forums, then uninstalled it and, voila, I got the option back. Weird.

For the life of me I can't get this to work! I don't like to start any new
threads and I read all the ones addressing this topic but I'm still stuck.
1. Downloaded wired tether for root, downloaded sync to get the correct
driver, installed it in the proper location following the directions on the google
code site and everything seems ok. When I go to device manager everything
is fine. When I click on the app. I see that its trying to connect but then
gives me the error "network has limited connectivity"
When I go into "My networks" it shows connected with no problems, I know I'm
missing something simple here but I'm stuck, I disabled my wi-fi network,
tried making a new network but nothing works.
Any ideas??
No support for wired tether I have realized. Either try pdanet or easytether if you don't need to access https sites or get a paid version of either. Newest version of wifi tether is working though if usb is not a must for you in your tethering.
Scratch the no support for wired tether. Sorry bout that. The google app is supported and requires drivers that I couldn't find. If you search for the HTC Sync drivers, those work- install them and it works. Restart your comp then reconnect usb. Hope that helps.

UPDATE: I can tether with the built in Froyo tether function on a macbook pro. Which means the problem is with Windows 7!
EDIT: I realize that my wording may be confusing. well ive tried PDANet and that works, so i can only assume other third party ones will also work.
My problem is that Froyo has this built in, but i cannot get THAT to work.
Ive tried using OpenDesire (many, many different revisions) and Oxygen. Both by AdamG, but i doubt it makes a difference.
I go into the wireless setting and enable USB tehtering. I disconnect my wireless, plug it into my computer, and get no IP so i cannot browse anything.

Am i missing a step
2 different carries too. Ive tried Rogers and ive tried Telus. No change.
When I was using oxygen I just plugged it in, enabled usb tethering and I got connection.

So whta could it be?
hardware problem?
Radio issue?
Am i just doing it wrong?
EDIT: I just plugged it into my desktop, and it didnt work. They're both running windows 7 if it matters..
EDIT2: the programs for tethering in 2.1 and below worked for me when i was on 2.1..
EDIT3: Im posting this while using PDANet...
Alright the problem is with windows 7. My friend used his MBP to tether wirelessly to my phone. No issues

anyone know how to fix it?
bump again...

Not sure if it helps but have you tried installing HTC Sync? I remember vaguely that it is needed for USB tethering for windows.
Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with connecting tethering my laptop and netbook to my incredible. I'm running Skyraider 3.3.3 Sense with Wireless Tether for Root. The application worked a couple months ago, but now no device can connect to it. The devices show that they connect but both don't receive an actual IP address (they get a 169.something). The application shows when a device connects, and it doesn't ever show anything connecting to it. I had this issue when I was running 3.0 and still having it at 3.3.3. I've uninstalled and reinstalled; no dice.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks,
Tim
Go to the market page for wireless tether there is a link to their site just download a newer version.

As I said before: I have the newest version.
I have been using both the CM Internet Sharing program and the WMWifiRouter with no issues for over a year now on my AT&T Tilt 2.
One day a couple weeks ago I had been using CM to connect my laptop to the internet. everything was just fine as usual.
At some point, I had disconnected and tried to reconnect, and since then I can no longer use either of these programs.
What happens is this...I turn them on and the phone will no longer hold a connection to the ad-hoc network that is created. Up in the status bar I see the icon showing WiFi trying to connect but it will not stick anymore.
I can connect to my office and/or home wifi router still. It just will not connect to the ad-hoc network any longer.
This makes no sense to me at all, since it has always worked and was even working earlier in the day when it stopped working.
I use the tethering frequently and really need to get this solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I am able to connect using WMWifiRouter using the USB connection option.
Any help? Please?
Hmm...
I had this problem on a stock WinMo 6.1 ROM, I fixed the problem by hitting Advanced in Comm Manager [or go into the WiFi setting in Settings-System] and then connect to an infrastructure point. Comm Manager doesn't like Ad-Hoc points for some reason. Did you try resetting WMWiFiRouter? There's a setting in it for that.
Not that I'm sure any of that will work, I at least got it to connect to normal access points now and make the Ad-Hoc connection, but there's no throughput in the connection and I really don't feel like reinstalling my custom ROM, so I just popped my SIM into my MyTouch. But that doesn't really help you... sorry...
Thanks, but none of that is gonna help.
I have no problem connecting to any normal wi-fi network.
It had no problem connecting to Ad-Hoc for the last year until the other day and NOTHING has changed.
I was using CM Internet Sharing and not WMWifiRouter. I switched back to WM because at least with that I can set it to use USB. But neither program is working with Ad-Hoc now.
I don't even see the setting for infrastructure point. I am not on a stock ROM. I also just realized my signature was old. I'm on a Tilt 2 with a custom Manila ROM.
It's just so weird cause it always worked and suddenly stopped!
Arg!!!!!!
Hi, been loving midnight rom for a while now but one of the things that concern me is the fact that i cant tether, is there any way of fixing this issue? the app works but whenever i try to connect any device they would not connect to the phone via wifi they just loop on "trying to connect" and it will never establish a connection
I am having the same issue
Which wireless tether are you using? There's a new beta version 12 if you google it, or remove the one you have and try the one in the market. My only problem with the market one is that, although stable, my Galaxy tab can't see it. Although my itouch and laptop work just fine.
