  1. Install PDANet software (v2.11+)on your desktop and Phone. When you install it on desktop, if it doesn’t install usb driver automatically , you can use USB driver (or here) to install.
  2. Make sure you have USB Debugging still enabled. Connect your Droid to the USB and on phone, launch the PDANet software. Click on “Turn PdaNet On”.
  3. Once it is turned on, you can then go to your PC and “Connect” on the PDANet software on your taskbar.
  4. You’re Done.

  If you need Bluetooth Tethering, follow the additional steps below:

  1. Pair your phone with your PC via bluetooth connection.
  2. Create a Dial-up Networking Connection (DUN).
  3. Select Bluetooth Modem Driver for the modem to use.
  4. Leave the user/password blank.
  5. Use “123″ as the phone number.
  6. Dial the DUN and you should be good.

  Note: Free PdaNet is trial version. Once trial expires, you can continue using PdaNet for free with limitations to http connections only or purchase the full version.
