how the hell do people do this?...
 

i have seen people plug their phone up to a computer, and all of a sudden have internet acces on their laptap... how do you do this, and do i need to have anything extra on my cell phone bill...

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.

are you serious, bro?... what all do i have to do... and how do i get pdanet... does it cost?

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.

Works good though.

i'll go out on a further limb and ask since it says it requires a TREO... a treo in which i dont have... how can i get it to work...

why do people gotta act like such dickheads on this site... people aint as stupid as you think... just cuz you THINK you know a lil bit about a damn phone dont mean you can try to embarrass people wit questions...

Uh, look at the link I posted...

There's a WM version.

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

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.
