Problems Tethering with XP

[bobheavens]

I'm trying to tether a Motorola Photon to my PC running Windows XP Pro to access the internet on my PC via my Photon. I am able to access my phone's memory and connect via Wi-Fi (over my home network) and USB no problem. I have found the configuration file necessary for XP tethering. At step 6 (see link) I do not see, on my computer, the New Hardware Wizard. When I select USB Tethering on my phone I do not receive any notice or confirmation of change on my PC. I have tried both Wi-Fi and USB, but neither works. I can see the Wi-Fi hotspot on my PC, but when I attempt to connect it continually reads "Waiting for the network..." Any ideas?

When I want to install a driver, I generally go to device manager, right click on the device in question, and update driver. That will get you to the same end. Put the driver on your desktop for ease of location.

I just figured it out...or at least I think I did. I believe Sprint doesn't allow tethering from the Android application, but I downloaded Clockwordmod's Tether app and it did the trick. I have to disable my firewall and turn on debug mode for USB, but it works great. If there is another way let me know.

Other than root or paid apps, I think you're good to go.
