Try the following, it works great for me, forgot where I got it but it works:
How To: Tether (VZW)
This is how I got my TP2 to tether with my laptop. (I have an unlimited data plan.)
The Internet Sharing app is 'hidden' in the /Windows folder. It's named "IntShrUI".
1. Go into your /Windows folder. (I sorted by name to help find it quicker)
2. Press and hold IntShrUI until the menu comes up. Select 'Copy'.
3. Navigate to your Start Menu/Programs folder.
4. Press and hold, then select 'Copy Shortcut'.
5. Rename it to whatever you'd like (I renamed it 'Internet Sharing')
It should now show up in your Programs. The only option available is USB, and I keep the Network Connection set to Verizon Wireless...not sure what the 'VZW Embedded GSM' option does. Connect your phone to the your laptop/desktop (make sure you have Activesync installed). Hit connect, wait about 5 seconds and you should be good to go. Again I have the unlimited data plan. This may work with the Sprint/T-Mo versions as well.
If anyone knows how to unlock the Bluetooth option instead of USB, please let me know...I know with my old LG Incite there was a Bluetooth option and it kept me from having to pull out my cord every time.
