Tethering Windows Mobile With PdaNet

Written by Alan Tuesday, 22 June 2010 08:00

First the disclaimer: This isn’t necessarily something your mobile service wants you doing…and it may actually violate their terms of service.  So, of course, I am speaking hypothetically about what I have heard…from a friend…

If you aren’t familiar with the term “tethering” then let me give a brief explanation.  Tethering is simply plugging your cell phone into your laptop and using the cellular data network to access the internet on the laptop.

So let’s get started with PdaNet.

1. First, make sure you have ActiveSync installed on your laptop.  If you don’t, then you can download it HERE.

2. Download PdaNet to your laptop (PdaNet works, not just with Windows Mobile, but also with Android, PalmOS, Blackberry and iPhone)

3. At the end of the installation you will be prompted to plug your phone into the laptop.

4. Once installed, there is not ore setup necessary (although you can make changes if you want).  Now just plug in your phone wherever you are and right-click on PdaNet tray icon and choose Connect.
