Ok i want to know does it cost extra or is this free? And also where would i find my account name and password for network preferences on the mac
Tethering in what way? Wifi tether through sprint is supposed to cost 30 a month. Wifi tehter via root only app is free regardless. Pdanet just doesn't work anymore on mac, which is the free nonroot option.
don't know. All I know is that the new android app requires a higher version than what's Available for mac.
Rooted Android devices can use wireless tethering, which is just what it's name suggests: tethering without connecting to the computer. I don't know for sure if it works with Mac, don't see why it wouldnt. But you do have to be rooted in order for this to work.
WiFi signals don't discriminate - if you have a Wifi tether app then anything with WiFi access can connect (Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, etc). I've tethered my Epic to Snow Leopard and Win7 today.

I don't know what you're talking about, my EVO's PDA net works fine on my macbook pro (im on this thread to find out info on my wifes epic )
what version of the software are you using on the mac? Maybe its just me. kinda bummed that it stopped working.
Edit: Um, yeah... after thinking I figured out the issued. I'm an idiot. Remembered you have to turn internet sharing on. I have to turn it off to let Parallels use the internet on windows or ubuntu.
I think Im using the latest version. I downloaded the pdanet Mac software like 3 months ago. The only time I turn internet sharing on my mac is when I use my mac as a hotsopt via PDANET. But my PDA net works fine with the native PDANET MAC software. No issues at all.
Anyone have success tethering a macbook to an epic 4g with pdanet? I hve used it twicebut it it does not work anymore, and trying to set it up again has not worked. I have not tryed any other tether software or rooting yet.
If you are having trouble tethering via pda net, it's probably the epic's fault, not the app.
I've had Zero problems using pda net on my Evo
