[Hidden-tech] Fwd: tethering a mobile phone to make it a modem or hotspot

[Andrew Bellak]

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.

For whatever weird reason, I can get tethering to work using Bluetooth 
but not USB - go figure.

I'll just stick with that for now.

YouTube videos were helpful.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G on Sprint FYI.

Best
Andrew
