tethering (in simple words)

okay, this might sound dumb to many of you, but im not very good with the computer lingo...  this might have already been answered, but i probably couldnt understand what was being sayd: can anyone please tell me how to tether my lg expo by usb in an easy to undestand way??!  i use to have the lg xenon and it was so much simpler. and this phone is just so confusing..im getting use to it, but tethering is one thing i cant seem to do. any help will be greatly appreciated!

If that doesn't work (haven't been able to do it with my eXpo) try:

Connect your phone via usb and wait for ActiveSync to connect.
On your phone:
Go to start Menu, tools and you should see an Icon for Internet Sharing.
Start internet sharing and you should see:

  Status: disconnected
  PC Connection: Drop down box showing USB or Bluetooth Pan
Select USB if not already selected (believe it is the default)
Then click 'Connect' in lower left hand corner of the screen.

Hope this helps.

This is on the stock ROM. Not sure if the internet sharing was left in any of the custom ROMs.

I suppose it may depend on the ROM you are using, but I just use the default Internet Sharing included in Windows Mobile.  

Open Internet Sharing
PC Connection: USB
Network Connection: [your carrier]

hit connect.  As long as you have ActiveSync installed, it should just work.  

Note: If Internet Sharing has Bluetooth PAN as an option, that is a version that was modified by LG.  I use the Windows Mobile version (should function the same) that only lists USB.

\Windows\IntShr.exe is the LG version
\Windows\IntShrUI.exe is the original version
