In wireless tether do you get a notification that your computer has connected?

do you have an android.tether folder on the root of your SD card?

do you have an android.tether folder on the root of your SD card?

+1

With an .apk and a .bin file housed within?

1. Check to see if you have the tether app on your sd card. If there install it and then go to open.
(If you dont have it go here: YouTube - Droid Incredible Root in 10mins and download the file or files cant remember which one i grabbed. You will find the app in one of those files. Drop it onto your sd card and install)
2. Make sure you are not connected to some other wifi spot or if you use an ethernet cable unplug it from your computer.
3. Enable the phone to wifi tether and then just search for it under where you would search for other wifi spots. Your phone will pop up after a few seconds and click it. Your phone should tell you that something is attempting to use it as a hot spot and give it the ok.

I posted a link in post #5 in the above link. Download it and move it to your android.tether folder and see if that gets you up and running. Shouldn't have to do anything to the .bin if its already there.
