simple steps to tether ppc to pc

[Trident]

Thanks. I appreciate the link, but neither the BT nor USB tethering is working for me. I got close- I got BT Activesync to work.
I think I tinkered enough to get everything set, but now when I disable A/S, start the wireless modem and connect to USB I don't get the prompt to install like I did the first time. I've tried to create the connection manually & to install the software, but it never works completely.
Embarq says I have to wait for a new modem so it will be another 24hrs (at least).
Any ideas/suggestions?
Please.
