pdanet works fine with windows 7 via usb. I have pdanet 2.01 and haven't had any issues.

I couldn't get it to work with the previous version. Though there is now a newer version (2.11?) but kbman said that the dns seemed to be acting flakey on it. I had him use the opendns servers in his tcp properties for that connection, but it still was having trouble resolving certain sites. Not sure if he worked that out yet or not though, that was earlier today.

I just got pdaNet for Android working running on XP inside a virtual machine on my Mac. Unfortunately, the internet connection doesn't translate to the Mac side of things but this was the way that the WM version worked. Still looking for a wifi router app that doesn't require root access. Looks like Morose Media has an app in progress: http://androidwifirouter.com/

I installed pdanet the other night. At first it fussed at me for not getting the 64bit version, so I did. After that everything worked great. Right now I'm still doing the free trial but everything is working well so I may purchase the program. $30 once beats $30 a month any day.

Just an update, if anyone of you care! I got the Droid on Tuesday and LOVE it to so much! I installed pdanet and it works great! I came from an omnia and this phone is great compared to that one!

I need to add a VZW line and am comptemplating the Droid. The June Fabrics folk are great at making the PDA Net work with most any Windows based PC.

I also have a MacBook and would like to know from current Droid users, will the Droid do wifi sharing via Bluetooth? This is a good solution with WM based phones, just not sure it will work with the Droid.

Thanks in advance.

Bump.
I have pdanet installed, currently I have a data plan(phone) but do I have to have a tethering plan? I just don't get slapped with extra charges.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Used pdanet for 1 month + now
Only issue is it disconects every now and then. more of an annoyance than anything

Mine was getting bad at disconnecting, so I went to the website and found an update that fixed it. It also added the option to tether BT but I havent tried that.
