Re: Can I teather my Droid?

Only after you root the phone. You can then use a program called "Barnacle". It's available in the market.

Re: Can I teather my Droid?

just use easy tether lite from the market. the free version is a lil slower than the paid version. no extra rooting or other steps required. enjoy.

Sounds to me like you are not rooted. What did you use to root?
