Tethering Moto Q 9H with AT&T

[jeff083077]

Hello All,

I just traded in my Blackjack for the Moto Q 9H (with AT&T) and so far love it. The GPS and Telenav are wonderful as well as the 3G data connection.

The only thing that would make this phone better is if I could find a way to tether it to my laptop so I can get online when I travel. I have searched and haven't found much with regards to this topic and this particular phone. I downloaded and tried PDAnet but can't get that to work successfully. I always get some kind of error. I was just wondering if anyone has successfully done this with AT&T's service and if they could post how they did??

Thanks -
Jeff

Thanks for the info, I download and installed USB Modem for window and installed with no problems. However when I activate USB Modem on the Q it seems to kill my active sync connection with the phone and the laptop - is this normal? Then when I try to dial out with the new network connection which I created on my laptop, I get "Error 678: The remote computer did not respond". Any ideas?

Thanks again.
Jeff

Tin Star, I tried your method and it works great (awesome speeds too)

However, I only see the option for USB... we can't use this Internet Sharing method via Bluetooth?

Can't find IntShrUI.exe in the Windows folder. Is there another folder where this file may live?
