what am I missing here.. Plug in my phone via usb (running cm7), check usb tethering and I should have internet on my computer right?
I'm running windows 7, sorry I tried searching but everything was related to wifi hotspot which I don't wanna use.

Try enabling Debugging in Applications--> Development Also check your device manager to see if your phone shows up and if there's a problem.

Debugging is enabled, it's showing up under network adapter as "remote ndis based internet sharing device" and it claims it's working properly.

I checked my XP computer and it shows up as the same "remote ndis based internet sharing device". I wish I had a Windows 7 computer to check. You could try a different computer to see if its CM7 or the computer. Also check your network connections in Windows 7 to see if it shows up, it does in XP. I wonder if Windows 7 is blocking the connection for some reason. Since it shows up in device manager it should be working.

Glad you're up and running. Tethering either by wifi or usb can be very useful.

I am using the leaked version of 2.2 and have no problem connecting my laptop and netbook to the Mobile AP. Sometimes it takes awhile for the icon in the start menu to show "Internet Access".
Mine works great. Both usb tether and wifi ap. On rogers 3g

MobileAP doesn't work for me either, it takes a long time to connect and when it does it says limited connectivity and of course nothing works. I tried all of the tethering apps form the market, nothing works for some reason.
Maybe it has something to do with the android version? I am running 2.2

Maybe mine is not working b/c I am using a fido apn on a locked rogers phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
Nothing to do with the version you're running or the apn settings, as long as you have data mobile ap should work.
Anyone got this working? I tried on my ubuntu netbook and it didn't work. Anybody got solutions?

What kind of connection were you using? WiFi should be very straight forward and works well for me in Arch, not Ubuntu though. Haven't tried bluetooth/USB yet.

I am trying to get my 3G connection on my netbook using my nexus s. Is it possible? Or is the 3G tethering for windows/mac only?

Worked fine on my Sammy i9000.... setup teethering, run ifconfig and u will see another Ethernet number eg eth1 or wlan1. Just select that network in your network manager and good to go

There will be a 'usb0' device when you are using USB tethering and networkmanager should recognize it automatically.
I just tried on mine to see if it would work, connected my phone's usb cable to the computer, went in settings/wireless/usb tethering and checked in usb tethering....works great, nothing more to it then that. Using Ubuntu 10.10
I can't even get Ubuntu to detect my nexus s. How?
There's a thread (Stickie) in the General section telling you how to unlock bootloader and root on Ubuntu, it'll also tell you how to install the drivers for your computer to detect your Nexus S.
Here's a link to it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883032
I was using tethering on captivate to my work laptop, my kid accidentally bumped the phone and it came unplugged from the usb cable. Now anytime I try to use tethering it will not connect to the laptop. Usb ports on the laptop work with other devices. Phone is running serendipity 6.4. Phone charges fine and I am able connect to laptop with usb debugging. Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you tried rebooting the phone and computer? Try a different USB cable maybe.
Yep! I have rebooted everything and I have 3 different cables. No luck yet. I was hoping this would be an easy fix
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
it may be a driver issue on the computer. Assuming you are on a windows machine go to device manager and see if there are any device errors. check under Network Adapters, see if you have Samsung Android USB Remote NDIS Network Device listed. If its not listed right click scan for hardware changes. Update or repair the driver.
Link to drivers from i9000 fourm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
I will try that thanks

I've always found Wireless Tether to be more reliable than Mobile AP.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
This has the sound of a hardware issue. I would try to get wireless tethering up and running
Like the others said try wireless tethering, I've never gotten it to work any other way with my laptop.
You could also try the reinstall drivers option in Kies, when I was having trouble with Odin detecting the phone even after it had worked before that option in Kies fixed it.
Also, try a different USB port if you haven't already, you mentioned trying different cables but not USB ports.
I was wondering If it was possible to use the g2x as a wifi adapter. What I would like to do is maybe have a App that allows you to connect to your home wifi and then share it to your PC through USB connection.
You mean like usb tether? Done
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

If only it was that simple. In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. But I'm not trying to share my 4g connection. I want to use it to share the internet from my "home wifi router" the wireless adapter in my PC went out and I don't really have the money to spend for a new one this close to x-mas.

I'll sell you a USB one I used to use with my TiVo for $10 (b/g I believe), just PM me.
Turn data off to make sure its not using your 4G connection, then just tether it connected to wifi and it should work. I've done it before numerous times.

That sounds like a decent solution. Haven't thought about that, do you have a recommendation on a good tether App that doesn't need a whole bunch of UN necessary work.

Settings app perhaps? USB tethering is just above wifi tether. I've done this many times.

tahahawa is right it is built in to the android software you dont need anything extra. All you need to do is connect to wifi like normal whatever network you want to use then shut off your data connection if you want to be safe but it is not nessesary. Then connect to the pc via USB and check the tethering box in settings and then you are done. No need for any other apps or anything else.
try out pdanet its a pretty usefull app theres a pc client u need to install and congifure as well but its really easy...probably best app out there for this...also not sure if u r running the miui.us rom or not but it has a built in tethering client
Its built in to our G2x's. Just make sure you have the LG drivers installed on your computer and then check USB tethering in Settings and everything should be golden!

I don't know what the deal is with the stock App but it just doesn't want to work with my computer. Wifi hot spot works fine but the USB tether wont. I have all the drivers for the phone as far as I know. Had to instal a bunch when I rooted the phone.

Thanks a lot that App did the trick and I like the built in text feature on the PC client.
Whenever I try to tether my XP laptop tells me that I need to install a driver in order to tether. Where do I get this driver? I am able to use it as storage fine.
To USB tether on my win 8 and macbook, I use pdanet, aside from the 10mb limit, it works great

Yes I understand but when I plug in my phone to my laptop it is asking for a driver for the infuse.
Just for driver, you can install kies.
But I an not sure about tethering driver.
What I recommend is make WiFi hot spot. U can also connect your phone top PC if you worry about the battery life.
