[Q] tethering issue for arc

Hi there,
I still new to use arc and android, just would like to check with all experts, I am trying to use the tethering feature and connect my arc with pc companion, but once I enable the tethering feature and the connection between arc and computer is disconnected.
Is it really like this? normal?
use tethering for internet connection since I have no broadband at home. Think of connect both to update software from original SE website....
Kindly advice.

Don't use pc companion, but instead change your device to Mass Storage mode and use the native Android USB Tether. You can find this option in Settings, Wireless networks, Tethering and Portable hotspot, Enable USB Tethering. I've been using it without a hassle since I got my arc.
PS: there's a Q&A section right under this one.

caN I USE arc to access my broadband connection of my computer via usb cable? IF YES THEN PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO CONNECT?

yes, i am using the tethering which u mentioned above to go internet at home since no broadband.
recently i think of upgrade my arc to 2.3.3 using pc companion.
but i encounter a issue that i have connected pc n arc using pc companion, when i want to update phone, i enable the tethering function, then the pc disconnected with my arc ord, how to solve? thks for advice!

[Q] Direct USB Tether to PS3?

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...

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.

[Q] USB Tethering Problems

Alright hoping someone can help me out here. I had a note 3 and s5 before and used them to usb tether on my work laptop. Company shut down wifi all together so wifi tethering is out of the question. So the laptop will install the samsung drivers and it allows me to usb tether. I have also tried with a droid maxx and it would tether as well. Well I got the G3 (verizon) and it will not allow the modem driver to install on the laptop so that I can use tethering. So does anyone know a way I can fix this? Such as change the way the g3 usb tethers? Make it act like a samsung phone or motorola? Installing the drivers is out of the question because you have to have administrative rights to do that

anyone?
