Help With Tether and PdaNet

Used PdaNet in the past under the free trial without much problem, was told not to upgrade to avoid the blocking of https and to do backup with astro to save that feature.. switched to a different phone for awhile and just came back to the eris still had pdanet installed but had removed from pc and had to reinstall there.. I can log into alot of site with user/pass but not yahoo or ebay (the two I need most) When I re-installed on pc it also reinstalled on phone. Did this mess things up? WHen I go into astro the only options now are to uninstall or browse file.. Is there any way to get back to where I was? Is USB tethering an option with a rooted phone? thanks for all the help.
 
I think you are confused. The free version, after the trial expires, will block https. Even if you uninstall and reinstall. You arent gonna cheat the system.

There is wifi tether for root users, and if you dont want to root, then you could use EasyTether. (Which does usb tethering as well, just like pdanet)
 
I am using the Droid X and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and am baffled as to why I am receiving the message: "PdaNet broadband driver is either not installed or need to reset, try to reboot your computer"

I have made sure that I connect my Droid's PdaNet before the computer's, only connected via "USB Mass Storage", and activated debugging. Everything worked when I used PdaNet last week, but now I only receive that message. (And I've also tried restarting my computer.)

Where are you seeing the error message? on DroidX or on PC? Also, just checking... did you install PDANet client on the PC? I am running PDANet without issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.

Are you sure your running a 64 bit driver? You can't use a 32 bit driver on a 64 bit OS.
