I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen myself. I set up tether on my Dell machine running Vista. It was so easy my 7 year old could do it. Basically just install the software on the Dell and phone start them up and away you go.

Now with the MAC (10.4) I installed Tether on my Macbook Pro, Tether was already on my blackberry curve 8330 from sprint. started up both tethers and no internet connection. Both tethers say they are active. I looked through the suggestions on tether.com and added the phone scripts, paired my blackberry with my Mac... no luck. Can't get it work with either bluetooth or USB ... Apple just makes it too difficult.

This one goes to Microsoft.

Could you try following these directions to setup a DMG file on a MAC?

Did you disable the Airport on the Mac? Do you show a Tether Ethernet network connection on the Mac?

Sorry for the very long delay in a THANK YOU reply. That reply helped me get Tether up and running on my MAC.

Do you need to DISABLE the Airport or just "turn Airport off"? I have the issue that after running for a while Tether just starts sending small packets non-stop and the incoming connection is essentially lost.
