Tried to use the 3G hotspot deal tonight and almost but not quite got it working.
I added the 3G hotspot feature to the phone via verizon online while I play with it for a few days, then maybe I'll try one of the other methods - pdanet tether etc.
Turned on the hotspot/mobile networking on the phone. Phone says it was broadcasting and gave me the device name, password, etc.
Turned on my laptop which connected to our home wireless by default as it always does with everything working fine, able to surf the web and all.
Used the Intel connection management software that is associated with the Intel wireless card in the laptop to disconnect the home network signal and search for new networks. It found the HTC network right away and after some password tweaking I got it to connect to the HTC network. Said it was fully connected, full signal strength, full speed, just like our home network shows up. The Dinc reported that one user was logged onto the HTC network.
But when I went to use firefox to get to some websites firefox reported that it could not connect to said sites.
Tried rebooting a few times, tried opening and closing firefox, but no joy. Same situation, HTC network is connected, strong signal, full bars, but I can't get to the net. Haven't tried IE yet, maybe it's some setting in FF?
Thanks
