I guess try manually setting your DNS to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Those are OpenDNS' servers. Not sure why you would need to do that, but that should make the 'net work.

Re: Tethering questions

Ok, now it's working, I can ping yahoo, but I wonder why I don't get the DNS servers automatically. may it have something to do with the fact that it's on Boost??

Hopfuly I'll be able to use it with windows 7.

Thanks for your help. I have some more questions, but I'll post them later...

Yea, I just wanted to establish that you could. No clue why you needed to put in DNS manually, I don't remember having to do that.

Not sure about Win7 either. Like I said, some dude said he couldn't get it to work, when everyone else said it was fine...

When I jump ship back to HaRET for testing I can try again.

Re: Tethering questions

I have some other questions, but I guess I should create a new thread for them...

Uhm, OK. I usually prefer people to ask build-related questions in the build thead, instead of creating a new thread... but whatever floats your boat.
