when do you see numbers in your kb's? When you're connected to a pc? or as soon as you click middle for "start tethering". I've gotten as far as i can see it on my list of choose a wireless network but i cannot connect to it and i'm still getting zeros on my kb's on my phone..thanks

cisco this is not to insult your intelligence ima do a run down for any one who read this.

1) (after you done the steps here: App that roots/OCs/multi-touches and tethers for $5) click on this link from your droid: wireless_tether_2_0-pre3_eclair.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0-pre3 *** FOR SUPPORTED ANDROID 2.x DEVICES ONLY *** >>> EXPERIMENTAL <<< - Project Hosting on Google Code
it will download
2) after its done click and say replace
3) go into app, click allow
4) go into set up and change ssid (make it ur name or something)
5) on your lap top go into control panel and view network
6) find the ssid you made
7) because it will consider it unsecured you are going to have to click on it (on ur laptop) and allow. u will know it works when ur phone vibrate
8) go into diagnostics and repair and repain the setting. u should get a yellow security dialogue box, accept.
I just did this on 2 diff lap tops one is an old 2006 toshiba satellite running windows xp, and the other is a new toshiba satellite running windows 7. Its the same for both

Good work pilot! The world needs more people like you! I'm experimenting now with a password to get in my tethering..

my concern is how much you can tether before verizon starts trying to get you. When i first got my droid they knew it had tether capabilities but the setting was not there, and when i asked they wanted to charge an extra 30 bucks a mnth. I know that they can really tell unless you try to watch the superbowl from nfl network on your laptop tethered to your phone. If any one have an idea on the range we need to be in a month that would be good.

Hope that makes since....my brain and body is getting into slow down mode

i've read that if you keep it under 5G you should be fine. When you start to go over is when the red flags go up...Just what i heard so don't go by that by any means.
