As long as you have unlimited data you can use something like PDANet.

It installs on your phone and on the PC. Click connect on the phone and voila, you have internet through your evdo connection.

I'm going to go on a limb and say that if you search for "pdanet" on google and click on the first result, you will have all your questions answered.

Yeah it costs.

There's a WM version.

Have you tried "Internet Sharing" in your Programs folder? It works for me, I use it all the time

[iamjfarrell]

Internet Sharing works for me as well.

For some phones, people have an issue where there is some sort of tethering logic that doesn't allow internet sharing to work without the correct plan.

So PDANet is a work around if you get that issue.
