So it is generally thought that you can not use the european motorola milestone as a tethered modem. I tried it anyway, and got it working! I wouldn't be surprised if this method works for other android phones too..
Here are the steps to make it work (this will only work when your telecom provider is Mobile Vikings (Belgium)):
1. Connect your phone with the usb cable to the windows pc (I am using w7).
2. Put it in Portal & Tools mode.
3. Let all the drivers download and install (windows does this automatically)
4. Now go to start and type: internet options (or your languages equivalent if you don't have an english windows
5. In the internet options screen go to Connections.
6. Click "Add..."
7. Choose Dial-up (your phone still has to be connected in Portal & Tools mode!)
8. Give in the following parameters:
Dial-up phone number: *99#
User name: web
Password: web
9. Check "remember this password", if you so please.
10. Connection name can be anything, mine is: Milestone modem
11. Click "Create"
12. You can now test your internet connection.
13. When going back to the Internet Options screen, remember to set the radiobutton-option to "Never dial a connection", so that you can manually choose to connect or disconnect to the modem.
14. Close everything by clicking "OK"
15. Now if you click the tray icon for wireless network connections, a Dial-up option should be available with the Connection name you gave in previously, if you phone is correctly connected, you can click connect to get on the internet.
16. Hooray!
procedure works like a charm, except for the internet access that is. i can dial in but no connection with browser to the internet... DNS problem it seems... any suggestions?
