I was wondering if defy on froyo firmware has this USB tethering by default so one can use it to connect the internet on pc using defy as modem connecting via usb cable.
The wifi hotspot work though but I'm looking at the usb tethering here.

You want to connect to a WLAN with your desire and tether the connection to the pc? Why, or am I wrong?
You can connect to your normal mobile internet (desire) and use the wireless hot spot (depends on the rom, but I only saw roms that are able to do that)
That can be done. Maybe he wants to tether his 3G connection to his PC. Either way, WiFi or 3G, it can be done. Why would one want to do something like that (WiFi2PC) is whole another ball game...
I don't have a wireless card in my pc, so I wonderd if I could use my desire as an alternative?
Thanks in advance

Yes this works as I used to use my phone as a wireless card.
Turn off 3g, connect to WiFi and then connection your phone to your pc. Im on windows 7 and it automatically worked.
There's the option to use usb tethering (in CM -> Options - Wireless & networks - Tethering & portable hotspot - USB tethering)
maybe this will help you
I can confirm that you can connect your Desire to a WiFi network and then tether to a PC via USB.
It saved my ass when I updated my netbook's BIOS and it decided to blacklist my WLAN card. :O

You need to have the proper drivers installed on your computer for it to work. If you're on Windows, download HTC Sync and it will give you the proper drivers. If you're on OSX, you'll have to follow one of the several guides out there to trick your system into doing a USB net connection.
I'm personally on OSX and its just too annoying. I just set up a WPA secured wireless network and set it right next to my laptop. Plenty fast and no hassle with a cable.
Does anyone here know how to use usb tethering for our arc s? I'm having problems working on this one. Thanks for the response.
I'm already connected to my wifi using another android phone to tether but still I can't browse.
Try this

Hi guys!
Just a thought, I have a PS3 and I have access to a local wifi, but due to the wifi having a MAC Filter the PS3 can not connect so I had a thought of USB Tether my Wildfire to PS3..
BUT
When I read online, I saw that I must use a computer & Cross over Ethernet cable to the PS3, and I don't have a the right cable..FYI My computer is also allowed on the local wifi.
SO
My question is this: Is there anyway to DIRECTLY USB tether my Wildfire to the PS3?
Why not white list the PS3?
I wonder if just using the USB Tethering option in Cyanogenmod 7 would work?
Does your Wildfire have access to the Wifi?
I wonder if you were to use a USB Wifi Adapter connected to your Computer/Laptop to create a 'Hotspot' from which your PS3 could connect? Alternatively you could I guess try this maybe...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172528 - (Reverse Tethering PC/Laptop Internet to Phone) and then whilst connected... setting up the portable hotspot feature on your phone?
I hope one of these works for you.
Hope I've not confused anyone too much lol

I do not have access to the router & I can't contact the guy who owns the wifi because he's working away for a while.

From what I understood, Portable Hotspot only uses 3G / hsdpa connection and I want to use WiFi connection as I do not have an unlimited data plan.
I have seen the Reverse Tether guide before and have used this for another Buzz I own.
"Reverse USB tethering" no root (Wired internet on PC tethered to offline Tablet)
Hi all,
I've seen lots of tethering aps that let you share your mobile device's internet connection with a PC via USB.
I'm wondering if I can do the reverse. I'd like to share the wired connection of a PC with my offline Tablet via USB (no wifi available).
Can it be done without root?
I think it is only possible with a Ethernet to micro usb

Yes it can be done. You need an OTG cable, then a supported USB to Ethernet adapter. I will not elaborate any further, this has been discussed many times in numerous forums (there is a great thread in the Nexus 7 2012 version section about what USB to Ethernet works and what does not - mind you the Apple adapter does and you can eBay it brand new for like 5$).
There is currently a bug in the Nexus 7 2013, the adapter is seen properly, but DHCP fails, and I tried manual address assignment, but DNS resolution still gives me issues. You can either get a patch for it, or wait for Google to fix it.

I can confirm it works (the mentioned Reverse USB Tethering). I set it up on Fedora 18 but only with root.
I found a USB wifi dongle that could act as an access point and run it in access point mode on my PC so my tablet can connect with wifi. No USB cables to fool with .

Hi! I've written an app for Reverse Tethering that does not need a rooted device. I've opened a dedicated thread for the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716
