So i have pdanet now....

How do you allow other people to use your connection? I am using my macbook right now with my droid's 3g but it has to be connected via usb? is there a way to connect it wirelessly? thanks in advance for any tips

I'm not certain as my laptops don't have it, but doesn't PDAnet have the option to connect with BT? If so, then I'd assume someone else with BT could also connect. I'm certain about BT properties though.

there is a way but you have to be rooted

Most current roms have wireless tether included. But like JCo352 said, you have to be rooted.

I thought pdanet works with bluetooth without rooting?

Can you set up your Mac to be an ad hoc network?

When you go to turn it on for the first time on the phone it says you have to set up something on your computer, that will do the trick

It Does..........

Not with PDAnet...No Root required.

There is no "5gb limit" for your droid. There is a 5gig limit for a VZW broadband plan, however. And since tethering your droid violates your contract, you may well hear from Verizon if you routinely exceed what VZW considers to be a reasonable download quota for a phone.

PDAnet works with BT, but i think that's only with the paid version. The free version is for USB tehering i believe..

You say there is no root required, what is the process, then. I want to connect via tethering to avoid needing a broadband card to an XP laptop. I have having all kinds of issues with installing the USB driver for the Motorola A855 on the laptop itself. What gives?

I should have clarified. I wasn't referring to BT.
