wild blue down. Can I use eris for my PC?

[bnw]

My Wild Blue Satellite is down. I can get the internet on the 3G with my HTC ERIS. How can I use this to view on my PC?

Unfortunately the Eris is unable to tether with a PC as a source of internet =( If you get 3G service on your phone though you can always use your phone to browse the web

get the PDANet app, works great as a modem-like network with 3G speed. Just be careful to stay under the 5GB/month limit or else VZW will notice and push you into a tether plan.

PdaNet -- USB Tether/Bluetooth DUN for Android

Root access will allow you to tether without needing to buy PDAnet, if you're okay with voiding your warranty and such.

PDAnet is COMPLETELY the way to go. It's wicked easy and works very well. Rooting is a great option, but not if this is the only reason you're looking to do it.
