I'm running Ivan's .8t2 and was able to get the wireless tether to work with no problems.
Wired tether is a different issue. I've got the latest HTC Sync loaded which is supposed to have the appropriate driver for XP sp3 I just can't get it to connect or even recognize the "eris network". The app fire up fine on the Eris, but it's like I'm missing some network setup on the XP.
I've done a google search and have not found anything too helpful. Mostly iPhone to Mac stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I've been trying to figure out why its not working. the kernel may need to be patched, and I know the app is supposed to let you know if the kernel is incompatible. I'll look into the kernel issue, but be patient with me as I'm still learning this dev thang!
in the meantime I have been running the KaosLegendary 0.8 rom and use mobile network sharing under wireless and network settings.
Thanks. FYI, there is no such setting I can find with Ivan's ROM.

yeah, you wont find that feature on an Eris based rom, I'm gonna see if I can add it tho.
on any phone, root or not, you could just download the "easy tether" app from the market. does wired tether for free, and is really really easy to set up.
Thanks to both for the help. The easy tether did the trick.
I had a feeling there was something missing from the laptop's side.
My Mom thanks you, too. Now the laptop can be taken to her place so she can Skype with her grand daughter and great grand daughter.

I'm going to be eaten alive for asking for help, but I can't get wireless tether up and running.
I bit the bullet and rooted today, installing CyanMod (v5.0.6-test) in the process. Downloaded and installed wireless_tether_2_0-pre10.apk (code . google . com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) and the app runs fine but my laptop couldn't connect. So I decided to look for a new kernel. I searched and installed intersectRaven's AVS_xtra Kernel (forum . xda-developers . com/showthread.php?t=653598&highlight=wireless+tether+kernal) but still nothing.
I'm obviously inexperienced. Any help would be honestly appreciated.
(Spaced out the links. Felt like posting my sources was worth disobeying the no link rule. :/)
Did you try this kernel update?
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/NexusOneKernelUpdate
I use the desire rom and the built in app they have in the ROM is great, all i do is open the app on my phone and search for networks on my computer and im connected.

It has always worked great for me, never had any problems.
i noticed that in my WIN XP laptop it didn't recognize the wifi network
but in WIN 7 all works fine.. (but it shows a different icon in the wifi select screen)
It's the exact opposite here. Win7 (64bit) refuses to connect but Vista connected just fine. But at least the application works. :] I installed the kernel from googlecode. Didn't check to see if it worked on another machine beforehand, but it works on everyone's but my laptop now.
I really like CM and have no complaints. :/ Does anyone know why my laptop cant connect? (USB tether isnt much of a bother, but compatibility issues in the future may be)
Which app are you all using for tethering? I can't seem to get the wireless one to work, the wired one looks good, but not sure if it works with the HERO. There are two in the market, one is pda net which ive used, but it breaks up every few minutes and there is easy tether, but I haven't used that.
I think all you need is Htc sync installed to use the wired tether. I use the wireless tether just fine, you just have to experiment on which one works best for you. Try the 1.5 wireless tether.. Provided your hero is rooted.
**edit**
Heres website
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
You need HTC Driver installed for wired tether, and you also need the 2.11 PRI from one of the Eris ROMs.
yes, im rooted running fresh toast. Should I still use the one for 1.5?
Unless someone else knows about an update, There is currently issue with wireless tether and fresh toast. Like the ability to enable the wireless tether but the phone will lock up when disabling.
didn't the eris PRI cause problems before?
Only with Sprint NFL and Nascar.
Just finished using Easy Tether and honestly its very easy and fast!
I've used and enjoyed Pdanet but now it "expired" and I can't access any secure sites (like email) and it's really annoying.
Never got Easy Tether to work
I have the "Wired Tether" by the same people who made "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and can't get either to work (running Fresh 2.1.2)
I'm pretty sure I have the HTC Sync drivers on my computer since my system detects it successfully as an adb android phone.
Idk what to do, I'd prefer to get the wired tether for root users to work but even if I could figure out the wireless problem that would be cool too.
I'm using the wifi tether from google on my rooted stock 1.5 android
anyone still have the pri udatezip
Wired tether for root users won't work for us because a special driver needs to be in the kernel I think (at least from what I gather from the faq). Wireless 1.60 works great on zen my touch slide rom overclocked by the way. Those on fresh toast who have problems, try 2.01, it's meant for g1 with a new kernel built from toasts, so ya never know.

z4root was pulled from the AT&T market over the weekend.
You can check this out: ponack.net (can't link cause I'm new here, sorry)
Gives you rooting instructions and (if wanted) instructions for installing the Cognition ROM...of course you can substitute your fav ROM instead.

I use Google's wi-fi tether app. I just download the latest version from the interweb and install. Of course I am rooted and have sideloading fixed.

Download the Samsung one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&page=25 and download google's Wifi tether app or Barnacle wifi from market. If you can't find it in the market, you can use Market Enabler from the market to fool the market into thinking you are on TMobile.
Anything new on the tether without a root. Can't seem to find any of the programs that people talk about.
Thanks
dont mean to hijack but it has to do with captivate tethering..
i have assonance 5.2 and have tried tethering to my pc. seems to work but what i am really looking for is a way to tether and use my PC'S connection on my PHONE so i dont have to dwindle my data plan. ive been looking for a while actually on how i could 'reverse tether' but i guess im blind.
i know, its unbelievable isnt it?
Are you trying to tether from a laptop or pc
From a phone

yea it should b possible but not very usefull since most pc's connect through wifi anyways so it would probely b more efficient to use wifi on your phone through your home network by installing a wireless router unless you are hard wired in which case u would need some kind of mobile hotspot type of program using wifi or bluetooth also usb of some sorts
problem solved with the newest version of connectify.
edit: well, my problem anyways.
I've been trying many multiple things to get wireless tether to work. I currently have CM7 installed and have tried Wireless Tether for Root (versions 1.6, 2.0.7, and 3.1b2) and I've tried Barnacle Wifi Tether ver 0.6.7. In both apps, I can start tethering, but I can never see the phone from any other device (Win7, Evo 4G, iPod, Xoom). I also never see any data being transfered (up or down).
I swear I used to have tethering working on my Hero before, but I just cannot get anywhere with it. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make a Nandroid Backup!
Then Try Flashing a Different Rom, This way you can possibly determine if its the Rom, or whatever else that it may be!

Thanks for the suggestion. That's actually the last thing I tried before I posted my question. I tried the Toast Hero 2.4.0 ROM and that didn't make any difference. I still could not get anywhere with any wireless tether, couldn't see it, and it never reported any data transfer.
Any other suggestions?
Kushdeck ftw. I tether everyday. Great rom too.

Don't know if your Big on Sense Roms? But you could try my ExEnHeroC Rom... I'm Sure that Tether works, at least for Mostly everyone that I've spoke to! It should also work on the SenseFroyoV8.1 or V8.5 Roms too!
Also what Tether App are you using?
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I figured out the issue. I think my issue is that the Hero can only do Ad-Hock connections. Am I correct in that? I was trying to connect to the Hero with another Android phone (HTC EVO) and a Xoom. It appears that neither of them support Ad-Hock connections.
Am I correct in all of this? Can the Hero support non-Ad-Hock connections?
hero only supports adhoc signals
Well, shoot. I thought for sure I tested it on a Win7 laptop and an iPad. I guess I didn't.
Does the bluetooth tether option work with the Hero? Thanks for all of your help with the WiFi option.
apple devices and windows will conect to it fine linux has issues.
I never had problems with Linux.
Oh, how I love my Evo 3D. Hotspot is so much better. Especially with 4G. I have my blue ray/ netflix player tethered to it to watch netflix.
"Damn you look even uglier in 3D"
im not sure about other linux distroes but on ubuntu at least it always just hangs on connecting then itll disconnect itself after five minutes or so. usb tether always worked fine though.
Have you tried PDAnet(Bluetooth&wired) ? If you don't want to switch ROM's just for tether. I've had it just over a year & am very happy with it especially after this last update.
Ok, Ive been looking around these forums for a while and havent come across a working way to tether FROM you pc TO your tablet over wifi. I can do it over usb but the play store doesnt work and the bluetooth option isnt for me. I found a way to actually get wifi to work (at least for me) if thiere is a easier way please let me know
First for me I am using to wifi cards for this however it should work over Ethernet or hell even dial-up.
1.Whatever connection you are using to connect to the web allow it to share the connection.
2.Download this app WiFiHotspot creator or if you trust me here is a link to it http://jumbofiles.com/y0l9dv3pbh5x be aware that unless you go for a advance install it wants to install alot of bloatware, nothing malicious just annoying!!!!
3. Once its installed just run it, it's very self-explanatory.
I've noticed its not very fast but it gets the job done. Also it works for everything Ive tested it with. Play, Youtube, network games.
If its any help Im running Windows 7
Thanx guys
I use connectify it gets the job done very well. I also am running the comp off of wifi and re broadcasting wifi with the same card using it

You beautiful beautiful man, seriously so grateful for this. You absolute lifesaver. God if I could give you a hug I would.
I wasn't able to get your file because the site was down but I downloaded the program from the authors site, start the install and AVG flipped out. After looking around a bit, it's not just me. Be careful w/ this program.
+1 for connectify.
Beamed from my Grouper
Can yoy reupload the file. It seems down!!
Thankss!!!
