Ok. The laptop is host of the modem phone. In my mind the phone was host of the connection.
I’ll try it out just with the USB cable. If not i’ll install open vpn on the windows xp machine

No, your host is the PC you want the internet connection on, NOT the phone. Azilink is the only thing you need to install on your phone…

And if you have the new firmware, you don’t even need OpenVPN/Azilink

UPDATE! No need to install Azilink or any of this mess with the new HTC Magic Sense UI ROM from HTC

The mobile sharing comes up as an USB Ethernet adaptor!

USB debuging is availible on Consumer Android platform phones however, it does not allow you to acess sertain features when you are debugging.

That is it opens a user shell on the linux kernel

I had my brand new HTC Magic –
1)Installed Azilink from the APK file
2)Turned on USB Debugging on the phone
3)Turned on the Azilink service on the phone (running the program)
4)Ran the appropriate scripts on my Ubuntu machine
5)Got on the Internet

The only trick is that with Ubuntu, because I couldn’t figure out how to get it working with NetworkManager is force /etc/resolv.conf. See below.

madox@madox-laptop:~$ cat azilink.sh adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927 sudo cp resolv.conf /etc/ sudo openvpn --config azilink.ovpn madox@madox-laptop:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf domain lan search lan nameserver 192.168.56.1 madox@madox-laptop:~$

You say “HTC Magic tethering is possible with USB without requiring to ‘root’ the phone, simply with Azilink.

Simply follow the instructions on the page!”

on the azilink page it refers to “Enable USB debugging on the phone. From the home screen, this is under Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging.”

While my HTC magic has not yet arrived, this directive on AZilink suggests the use of a rooted developer phone as opposed to using an HTC Magic phone that is not rooted, i.e., “settings, applications, development, usb debugging”. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the terms you are using.

Thanks
