I can tether my phone to my computer just fine.....BUT.....when im done surfing the web i unhook my usb cable from the phone and the next time i try to tether i have to restart my computer just to tether again........why? i once seen a program that said its because of "something running on your computer stopping you from being able to tether" (i cant find the program anymore) this program was supposed to detect the conflicting issue and stop the running process.......i once tried pushing ctrl+alt+del and stopped some running processes and accidentally got it to tether without restarting but i cant seen to do it again.................surely im not the only person with this problem esp if there is a program designed for this issue........... SOMEBODY HELP ME THIS IS VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING............restart, tether, restart, tether, restart, tether ................

Consider looking at WMWifirouter. http://wmwifirouter.com/ It is a great tethering app that has worked great for me. You will no longer need the USB cable. and can tether while syncing if you desire.

i do not have a tethering plan but tethering is not my problem its that my computer decides not to recognize my phone sometimes........like if the port is already taken so it cant see it or something..............
but i do like that wm wifi router thing but i don not have the funds to do that.............can you email me the program? {personal content removed, please use private messages instead} ......
there is still the solution of the program i spoke of earlier if i could just find it.............
when i formatted my xp computer i didnt have this problem ......... but after sometime of adding things on the computer now i do

having wifi on makes your phone hotter than usual due to max battery usage....i only use it when i have it plugged into a power source (other than a computer), and when i have a fan or other cooling device i can put on the phone to keep it from overheating....
