You need to have a rooted phone and the app Android Wifi Tether. Which pretty much turns your phone into a Wifi hotspot.

I just tested this and it works. Not sure it'll work well when playing a game, but it does work.Comment

go fuck yourself bronco67... if you want to pay the $600 that it takes to get satellite in my area, then be my guest honey.
No, I haven't messed wih this yet because I forgot to subscribe to the thread to get updates on the replies. Will mess with it tonight and see what I can come up with.
I read somewhere that you might be able to hook a router to your computer and do internet connection sharing with your ethernet port, but I didn't feel like digging the router out.
Does rooting the phone cause stability issues or security issues?
And I have a HTC Hero. Fucking rocks. three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ. Contact me there. Thanks. Comment

ETA Also, I've done the tests from speedtest.net and I get about 1.2mbps download... wonder if that would be enough for cod mw2 three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ. Contact me there. Thanks. Comment

1) My Credit Sucks
They want $500 for the equipment and installation fees before I can even sign an agreement with them. The sickest part about it is that not only do they force me to buy the equipment because I dont have a 750 credit score (sarcasm on the score), they want me to agree to sign my life away for 2 years in a contract. I'll do the cell phone, but what if we get DSL in 3 months out here... I am fucked. Again.
2) No other providers
We have no other providers in the area. I worked on dial up internet for over a year before just getting my htc hero a couple weeks ago. three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ. Contact me there. Thanks. Comment

Well fuck. I just wasted $24 on PDANet when all I had to do was root my phone. I am pissed now.
Rooting it was easy, now I am going to try playing on my ps3. three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ. Contact me there. Thanks. Comment

PDANet sucks. If you bought it through the Android Market, you have 24 hours to "return" it for a refund.Comment

My problem is that the shit freezes all the time on my computer so I lose my connection... and the really shitty part about this is that the IP changes like every 5 minutes it seems like... so if you're downloading something and your IP changes it throws off errors (with the ps3 at least)
Other than that, online gaming isnt bad, I played cod mw2 for most of the night. A little laggy here and there but nothing I am not used to, even with cable internet when I lived in the city playing socom 3 three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ. Contact me there. Thanks. Comment

Nice to hear that you can actually manage to play a game using this.Comment

Yeah, I'm gonna go play some more later. I installed a custom ROM which I do not like so I am restoring back to factory then will re-root the phone again, leaving the factory ROM on there (especially since they'[re coming out with a 2.1 system that is supposed to be even more streamlined and smooth in operation.) three 997 three 55 three 1 ← That's my ICQ.
