Can't connect to the internet with USB Teethering

[Mr Davo]

Hi All,

I am using my HTC Desire HD with USB Teethering in an attempt to connect my Desktop computer to the internet.

HTC Sync, drivers, etc are installed onto my Windows 7 x64 Desktop.

However I am only getting an intermittent internet connection. Sometimes the phone & windows play nice (and I can browse the web) and sometimes they don't (which usually results in me browsing the ceiling and cursing!).

Here is an IPCONFIG output from an instance when I was not able to browse the web:

PdaNet is the answer

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

I did find a solution with PdaNet.

Download PdaNet

Once the program is intalled on your computer you can navigate to the installation folder and find the PdaNet.apk file that needs to be installed on your phone.

As a result there is no need to use the Android Market, if you don't want to.

THIS SOFTWARE RULES!!!!

Cheers
