Having some trouble and haven't found an answer on the forums (though it seems a lot of people have had this issue), so trying a new topic.
We downloaded the trial version of Tether last night, and the connection worked fine -- no errors at all and both the BlackBerry and the PC noted a successful connection. Packets are being sent from the PC, but no packets are being received. Webpages will not come up, and there's no response trying to ping websites from the PC. We'd disconnected from AND disabled all other network adapters, tried a restart, etc. Adjustment of the APN does not appear to be an option on this BlackBerry (an 8830) -- going to Options > Advanced Options, there is no TCP option on the menu, which is where we understand we'd find it. Desktop software is v4.5. Carrier is US Cellular.
Would greatly appreciate any ideas on what to try next. Have also submitted a support ticket to Tether, but trying all venues...
When you aren't receiving any data, it usually means you still have your Wireless adapter enabled or your wired adapter enabled. I know you mentioned that you don't but could you verify that no other software is actually keeping it open, like any Dlink software?
Can you provide me with a screenshot of your network adapters, your whole desktop and with Tether running?
What carrier are you on?
