Tethering...

[SmokinHawtVegasChic]

Hey there guys...haven't needed any help in a VERY long time. Now I do...

I have an HP Pavillion dv4000 running XP...can't get my droid to tether or WiFi so that I can get on the internet. I can do it just fine on my Toshiba Satelite LD505...but not the HP. Am I doing something wrong? Do you need any other specs off that laptop?

Thanks

Phone: MOTO Droid
Vs: 2.2

Which droid do you have? Are you rooted? Are you using the wireless tethering app?

Also, windows SUCK! that may be your problem

Is your computer just not finding AndroidTether in your wireless networks?

 

[hemorrdroid]

Search for "wireless tether" on the market, run that, it will ask for SU permissions, checkmark remember and select allow, click start tethering, then search for the wireless network on your laptop.

This.

I apologize, I thought you already had this app.

Vista/7/linxus...i'm running xp...so i went to this page which it gives me on the help page...and set up the tethering for XP.

No problem, the wifi tether app on the market works fine with XP.
