To share your phone’s
data connection via USB
If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent distribution
of some flavours of Linux (such
as Ubuntu), you typically don’t
need to prepare your computer
for tethering. But if you’re running
an earlier version of Windows
or another operating system,
you may need to prepare your
computer to establish a network
connection via USB. For the most
current information about which
operating systems support USB
tethering and how to configure
them, visit http://www.android.
