Default Dell mini 5

Is it possible to tether the Dell mini 5 to my netbook? It has V2.2 on it.

Absolutely.
Use the default tether client that comes with it.

Can you help with that please. I thought it would have PCsuite but it doesn't and there seems to be no tether option that I can find. I downloaded PC suite off the internet but it won't talk to the phone.

I just would like to be able to use the phone as a modem for my lappy via USB and it would be fine.

There seem to be allot of tethering apps out there. Not sure how well they work, I think most require rooting. Look on the market.
