I am a paid customer of Tether for Blackberry. I just recently purchased the Verizon Motorola Droid to replace my Verizon Blackberry Storm 1. The Storm 1 worked almost flawlessly. My pin for the BB is recorded in my panel here on the site. I received an email from Tether on March 9, 2010 about the Android Beta and it's launch. I have followed the instructions to a tee of:
1. Uninstall existing Tether software - and reboot.
2. Enable USB debugging on the Droid
3. Downloaded/installed Tether for Android (http://www.tether.com/a/setup.exe) to my desktop
4. Connected Motorla Droid when asked to do so
5. It installed the Tether for Android app on my Droid
6. Disabled ALL connections both wireless and wired
6. Start Tether on the PC and select Android USB
7. Start Tether on Android
Then I see some activity on the Tether on desktop, and on the Android it tells me it is connected successfully with PC over USB.
But no matter what, I cannot browse the Internet. I cannot ping. I cannot do nslookups, nothing.
Several minutes later on the Droid, it says: "Could not create the TCP socket: Java.net. SocketException: The operation timed out." It says this over and over and over again.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance.
