USB Tethering & USB Storage Drive

[Prince_Basil]

So I was wondering, what do I have to do with both my Phone & my computer to allow usb tethering from my Epic? I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit. I connect my phone to my computer & I get the option for tethering, but it doesn't do anything on my computer.

Also, when I choose USB drive, nothing ever pops up on my computer. I manualy go to the drive & it doesn't ever load & it just makes my computer freeze up until I disconnect my phone. What should I do?

You would need PAM (phone as modem) on your plan for USB tethering to work out of the box like that, but unfortunately this add-on is no longer offered on normal plans by Sprint. Try searching PDANet in the market - this will allow you to have wired tethering.

Where did you get your Epic drivers from? If you have the right ones, try a different USB port and/or different USB cable.

I don't think I have any installed. Where would I go to download the correct ones?

Install the desktop PDAnet software first. It has the correct drivers. You don't need to buy it for it to do most functions. Paying for it allows you to log into secure sites.
