I have Windows 7 64 bit and for the life of me I cannot get this up and running. I have tried everything. Did anybody actually get PDANet up and working on this OS? If so, how the hec did you do it? I have tried all suggestions listed so far. Nothing works.
TheEsupremacy, are the drivers not installing properly? Or is the problem with PdaNet? I haven't gotten PdaNet working on my Win7 x64 machine, and probably won't bother because I got azilink working (and it's free).
NOMster, can you post some more info about the problem you're having? I'm going to try getting the drivers installed on XP 32 bit right now. I'll post back with my results.
Okay, I got Azilink working under both WinXP-32 and Win7-64. All I needed was the zip file with the drivers (posted earlier in the thread), OpenVPN and the Azilink OpenVPN config file, the Azilink app, and the latest version of adb from the Android SDK.
usbdview can come in handy if you want to look at your USB devices, but keep in mind that although it will uninstall the drivers for a device, Windows will just reinstall the same drivers when you plug it back in. To stop that, you have to uninstall the device from device manager, and check the box that asks if you want to delete the drivers from your hard drive. If you have drivers installed that aren't working, you should give that a try to get rid of them. Then install using the ones in the zip file.
I put together a package with everything that I used to get tethering working with my Moment in XP-32 and Win7-64. I assume it'll work with other versions of Windows, including Vista. There's a readme inside with the basic steps I took to get things working. Let me know if you have problems!
I uploaded it all over since I'm not sure which sites have time limits on free account uploads or whatever.

sure. it loads fine the whole package installs but then when it gets to the driver install, it hangs and throws out a "failed to install, do you want to report this problem to microsoft"

Thanks for binging it all together. Your instructions are great! But I was still not able to connect to the internet.
After following your instructions in the 'read me' file, I went to internet option and added the Samsung modem (I have windows XP) as a dial-up option, #777, left the username and password blank. Did I miss anything?

I am getting the error code: 698
So let me make sure I have this right - you ran through all the instructions and everything seemed to go well, is that right? You shouldn't need to set up a modem connection in Windows networking. OpenVPN makes a tunnel over the ADB interface to your phone, which acts as a router for you.
What sort of output do you get when you run the "Start Azilink" batch file? Once you run that file and it sets up communication with your phone, you should be able to connect to the internet. Post back with what it says, and I'll see if I can figure out what's up.
Also, just wondering, you say you're on Windows XP. Are you running 64 bit or 32 bit? On your start menu, press Run, and type %PROGRAMFILES%. Tell me what folder that takes you to. For example, on my XP-32 machine it takes me to "C:\Program Files". If your program files directory is on another drive, this could break the batch file.

NOMster, it sounds like you are installing PdaNet or the Samsung Studio program. Both of those failed to install drivers for me too.
What happens when you plug in your phone (when your phone has USB debugging enabled)? Does Windows ask you about installing drivers, or does it do nothing?
If Windows does not ask you to install drivers, then it sounds like you have some drivers installed already, and they might not be the right ones. If that is the case, please download usbdeview and post a copy of the "HTML Report - All Items" that you can access from the View menu. You can find usbdeview at USBDeview - View all installed/connected USB devices on your system or in the zip package I mentioned in my earlier post.

Thanks for putting this together. I am posting this via my Moment using the Azilink connection.
The one trip up I ran into is that I have to manually start the Azilink service on the moment (programs -> azilink -> check "Service Active"). Once I did that openVPN connected and everything is working great.
This will help me out at work quite a bit.
Thank you.
PS. I'm new to android so pardon a dumb question. Is there any reason to turn off USB Debugging on the phone when you are not tethering?

Sorry I forgot that step. Glad you got it working! I am relatively new to Android myself, but I don't know of any reason to turn off USB debugging. I assume it only affects how your phone presents itself to the computer when you plug it in via USB. I don't have a definite answer though.
okay, i uninstalled the existing drivers and tried to install the ones from the zip pack but it's not working. when i hook the phone up it tells me the old "there was a problem, blah blah." and pdanet gives me a error 103 and 104.
What exactly does it say when you plug in the phone?
Is there a reason you want to use PdaNet? I have not tried it out, so I can't help you get it working. Please try installing azilink from the package I put together (links in this post). I should be able to help you better with that, or you could email the maker of PdaNet.

The Azilink file was not installed on my phone when I clicked on the 'Install Azilink to Phone' batch file. I started over and manually copied the 'azilink-2.0.2.apk' to the SD card and installed it manually on the phone. I checked the Service Active, but the 'Status' says 'waiting for connection'. On the computer, the Open VPN is on (not sure what it is supposed to do). But still not able to connect when I open a browser page.
To answer your questions:
1. When I click on 'Start Azilink(32-bit)' - I believe that is the right one. (I have a Lenovo Ideapad running Windows XP), it flashed a DOS-like window on the screen for a few seconds and nothing else happens.
2. When I type '%PROGRAMFILES%' it takes me to 'C:/Program files'.

Well that's interesting. That batch file isn't running properly - it is supposed to start OpenVPN for you, and should remain open as long as you want to be tethered to your phone. If it is just popping up for a second, then it is probably not starting OpenVPN properly.
Let's try something to find out what the problem is. Add a new line to the batch file, "pause". This will keep the console open so you can read what it says before it exits. So the whole thing should look like this:
Just figured out the problem by trial. You many want to add that on your 'readme' instructions. I had to copy the downloaded 'Azilink' folder to the hard drive. I previously had it on 'My Documents'. It is working now, THANKS!! (Although, it disconnects sometimes for some reason I am yet to figure out).
first off, thanks for all the great info on this thread. tethering is working great with my phone.
sorry for the newb question, but if you tether too much and you use a lot of data, does sprint figure it out, and call you out on it? has this happened to anyone before? i thought sprint really didn't allow phone tethering so i was just curious.

As long as you average monthly data usage remains below 5GB, there will be no red flags raised. At the time you are tethering, the network does not discriminate. But use it judiciously. Most users do not exceed this limit in a month. I barely make it to the 3GB mark with heavy use.
I wish I could get mine to work. I've tried everything. Something to do with Windows 7 64 bit and even the 2.11a update, still no go. I've never been able to NOT install or get something like this working. I fail.

1. Make sure the Moment is not connected to your PC
2. Download and Install New Studio PC from the link above or
Download the stripped drivers from Studio PC a few threads up, and
store in some location on your hard drive.
3. Once the Studio PC installation is done, you can now download (if you haven't already) and install PDANET 1.17 on your laptop. It will stop with a pop up
and a list of instructions for moving forward with the installation.....
4. Now, on your Moment, you'll want to turn on "USB DEBUGGING".
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB DEBUGGING
5. Connect the Moment to your PC. The PC will now start installing the
necessary drivers. If you've grabbed the stripped drivers, you'll have to
manually point the install to the folder locations.
6. Once all drivers are done. Hit OK on the PDANET installation prompt. The PC will now install PDANET on your Moment.
7. Once done. Go back to the Moment and look for PDANET. Turn it on while it's still connected to the PC. It should now make a connection.
new to this and tried following these instructions to the letter except for using pdanet 2.12 special from junefabrics. I've tried I can't tell you how many times to get this to work and it always comes up with pdanetpc.exe encountered a problem. Do you have any ideas about fixing this? I need some type of internet acces at work since they are now blocking most everything w barracuda firewall. I know the work around for that but don't feel like risking my job just to use their internet.

Hello, the newer versions of pdanet do not require pc studio. They are standalone executables that contain everything you need - from what I was told by junefabrics. Try uninstalling pc studio, and pdanet. Restart your pc afterwards and try the install again.
If it doesn't work, it means that something got corrupt. You'll need to find it and remove it.
My nephew got a Samsung Moment this week, and we tried to get his tethering to work.
1) He installed PdaNet from the Android Marketplace (or whatever it's called).
2) He started up that program, but it told him he needed to install drivers on his XP laptop computer first. It gave him a hyperlink.
3) On his laptop, he went to that hyperlink, which was simply a PdaNet installation page. He downloaded the installer and started it.
4) The installer told him to put his phone into USB Debugging mode and connect it to the computer so that the computer would install drivers.
5) He indeed set the phone into USB Debugging, and connected it to the computer.
6) Nothing at all happened. No drivers, no device in the Device Manager, nothing. I ran USBDeview to see if a preexisting driver had grabbed the phone, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
7) A Google search suggested to us that we install the Samsung PC Studio (or whatever it's called) on the laptop. We did so.
8) We then retried installing the PdaNet client on the laptop. Again, nothing.
What do we do now?
Are there any other settings on the phone that we need to check?
Is it possible that everything is now installed correctly, and we should simply try to use PdaNet? I see no instructions--what all do we need to do? Turn on PdaNet, connect the phone to the computer, and then do what?
Some sites mention a "Mobile Internet Sharing" option, but others say that there is no such option on the Sprint Samsung Moment. Is there one there? Should we turn it on?
I'm sorry that this sounds so amateurish, but I'm used to my own Windows Mobile, which has no difficulty with multiple kinds of tethering. But I would like to help my nephew.

Did you try rebooting the phone (Power it down, remove batt for 5 seconds, power it back up)? This is a known issue that occasionally occurs with the Moment... it won't appear on the computer. Try rebooting the phone and let us know
Tough to say what is causing your issue. I'd suggest three thing before you go thru the hassle of exchanging it:
1. Pdanet could be conflicting with another 3rd party program you've installed.
Solution-remove all 3rd party program, and try install again.
2. There could be a usb driver conflict or a corrupt usb driver on the pc. Solution
Load usbdview.exe and delete active usb drivers especially anything with android or.
samsung or palm or apple name attached to it....etc do them one by one. Meaning delete
one - connect Moment. Didn't work? Unplug moment, delete another, connect Moment....
repeat... Don't worry about losing the drivers.
3. Use a task killer program on the Moment before you connect usb and do the install.
I followed the recipe on the Sprint Community site:
Settings/Applications/Developement/USB debugging
-Uncheck USB debugging
-Status Notification will show USB icon
-Bring down Notification bar and select USB connected
-Select Mount from next menu and now your computer will read your device
Now I get Samsung New PC Studio to recognize and see my Samsung Moment on my laptop (running XP Pro SP2). However, I still have the problem on my desktop (running XP pro SP3), when I plug the Samsung Moment in, all I get in USB is Unknown device. Using USBview I do not see any data on this Unknown device (all fields have 0x00 value). Have tried to remove and re-install the Samsung New PC Studio several times (including deleteing anything I see Samsung in the registry). The worst thing is the Samsung Moment would hang up and have to remove the battery to get it restarted.
I even tried to remove the USB devices (got me scared because after removing the keyboard and mouse USB device, after I reboot the keyboard and mouse USB drivers did not get restored, luckily after poking the F8 key I managed to reboot with last known good condition!!! Phew!!).
So still puzzling here to see how I can connect the Samsung Moment with my desk top.

PDANet crashing can be attributed to not having certain windows services running or turned off. Check out this link, it talks about vista, but this fixed it for me on XP. PdaNet for Windows Mobile FAQ

I was following this thread and trying and trying but am stuck
I have the opnVpn installed on computer. I am not sure if I configured it correctly. I did two things, i generated a static VPN Key and then I copied that azilink.ovpn to the config folder.
I see the ADB interface in Device Manager and it says Samsung Android Composite.
I right click on open VPN and try to connect.
Below here is the message i get. did I miss something? I have no experience with programming so, I am not sure What the heck is going on. Do I need to unique numbers other than what is given in that config file? Why the connection failure?
Thanks,

It sounds like you didn't turn on the Azilink service on your phone. Open the Azilink app and check 'enable service' checkbox. Then give it another try. Sorry I didn't mention this in my readme.
I'm using pda net, cause the initial distro we had on here of azlink was a bit to confusing before my morning coffee was finished.
As far as I know, they do basically the same thing, if you have the paid version of PdaNet. If you are using the free version and it has expired, PdaNet will only forward http traffic (maybe just only port 80 traffic, I don't know how it does the filtering). Azilink is free and as far as I know will always forward all ports.
On my phone, when I open up the Azilink, the first check box is Service Active. I have checked this. The status says waiting for connection. All the other parameters read 0. When I run the OPENVPN, it get the same error message repeated over and over.

On my phone, when I open up the Azilink, the first check box is Service Active. I have checked this. The status says waiting for connection. All the other parameters read 0. When I run the OPENVPN, it get the same error message repeated over and over.

Thanks for your help.

Okay then, my next theory is that your phone doesn't have port forwarding set up. This could be caused by either of these:
1. The ADB drivers didn't install right
2. The adb port forwarding command didn't work for some reason
I guess the first thing you should try is to run "adb devices" in a command window (you'll have to navigate to the folder where you have adb first).
If that returns an empty list, then it sounds like the drivers didn't work. Maybe try reinstalling?
If it returns a connected phone, adb should be able to see your phone. Try doing "adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927". That should get the port forwarding going.
If you get port forwarding set up, and the service is enabled on your phone, and you still get the same error from OpenVPN, then I'm not sure what could be wrong. Maybe a firewall issue?
As far as I know, they do basically the same thing, if you have the paid version of PdaNet. If you are using the free version and it has expired, PdaNet will only forward http traffic (maybe just only port 80 traffic, I don't know how it does the filtering). Azilink is free and as far as I know will always forward all ports.
Cool. I will try your package and report back. The previous try left me confused.
Pluss PDA net is super buggy and a pain at that.
Why can they not just let us have regular tethering without any issues. =*(

Hi Cheese Moo,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did what you suggested and got the following message in prompt:
List of Devices attached
M900da07cc8a device.
You suggested I do adb forward, I have no clue how to do that. Where, and how is this done?
THanks
Scott

I tried the command the same way as I did for checking for the attached devices. It worked. (Surprise to me since i don't know what i am doing) The openvpn says I am connected to azilink, my phone shows the same. BUTTTTTT, No bytes or information moving on Azilink on phone, cannot load a browser.
I have gotten this far, hopefully this isn't then end and I can get this to work. I included below the log that OPENVPN shows.

It looks like OpenVPN is connecting okay, and if the phone says it's connected, then I think that means it is. Are you running Windows XP? I have noticed that sometimes I have to reboot my XP computer to get it to recognize Azilink's internet connection. I never have this problem with my Windows 7 computer, so I assume it is a problem with XP.
If rebooting doesn't solve your problem, I'm not sure what you can do. It looks like the connection is set up right, but Windows isn't using it.

Hi Cheesemoo,
Great news, I am writing you from the connection. Couldn't have done it without your guidance.
Thanks,
Scott
Be sure to kill andoid forums for resetting everything you typed before the page loaded.
Works great. Seems faster actually. Gives the computer a homely feel with a command window open.
I have no idea why they are doing the stupid adminstrator crap on newer windows.
Windows has a root account somewhere. I know it.
Anyways.
Yes, forgot to say to turn it on on the phone.
And should also mention that people should restart their device if things are not installing.
i had to uninstall PDA net first and restart the phone before it would recognize it. I just installed the drivers from your pack and uninstalled the PDA net ones to make for certian it would work.
And, now, I'm on, but for some reason its telling me tehre is an error with connection.... hmmm
Oh, its up set because its unidentified.
Cry some more windows. =\ *sigh*
Good work man.
Package looks good
I unpacked it in my download directory and cannot move it now though. Windows has all those annoying permissions crap, but anyways. I unzipped it onto my desktop and tried to run it from there and it wont work.
I wonder why that is?

Whats up with the phone just becoming unuseable to the USB port and require restarting?
i was having this issue with PDA net also.
It tells you the device is no longer recognized, and then once you restart it, things work wonderfully.

It should work fine as long as the directory structure in the zip file is maintained. What exactly doesn't work when you try having the folder on your desktop? Does a batch file give you an error?
If a batch file is just popping up really fast and you don't have time to see what it says, add a new line to the bottom of the batch file with the text "pause". That will hold the window open so you can see what it says.

I dunno. Are you running XP? I've only ever seen this problem on my XP machine. Thankfully I have Win7 on my laptop and don't need to tether to my XP box much.

Yea. i threw a pause in there. I know a bit of dos still. hehe.
Anyways.
It just acted like it had no clue what was going on.
Oh well. I'll just use it where its at for now.
Settings/Applications/Developement/USB debugging
-Uncheck USB debugging
-Status Notification will show USB icon
-Bring down Notification bar and select USB connected
-Select Mount from next menu and now your computer will read your device
Now I get Samsung New PC Studio to recognize and see my Samsung Moment on my laptop (running XP Pro SP2). However, I still have the problem on my desktop (running XP pro SP3), when I plug the Samsung Moment in, all I get in USB is Unknown device. Using USBview I do not see any data on this Unknown device (all fields have 0x00 value). Have tried to remove and re-install the Samsung New PC Studio several times (including deleteing anything I see Samsung in the registry). The worst thing is the Samsung Moment would hang up and have to remove the battery to get it restarted.
I even tried to remove the USB devices (got me scared because after removing the keyboard and mouse USB device, after I reboot the keyboard and mouse USB drivers did not get restored, luckily after poking the F8 key I managed to reboot with last known good condition!!! Phew!!).
So still puzzling here to see how I can connect the Samsung Moment with my desk top.
Ok, got the Samsung connected to my desktop now. The issue is the micro-USB cable. The one I used to connect to the desktop came with the Plantronics bluetooth headset. I guess that cable is only used for charging no data. No wonder I see all 0s with USBView and also the satus: DeviceFailedEnumeration.
Thank you everyone for chiming in helping me out.

I am also having problems installing PDAnet. I have followed all instructions in this thread.
I double-click the install file, tells me to make sure the phone is disconnected, then asks me to connect phone after making sure USB debugging is on. I do that. Then my computer asks me to install drivers, I point windows to look in the Samsung folder that I downloaded from a previous post in this thread. All that works fine. I then click next, a screen pops up and I get a green check mark on installing USB driver, green check mark on setting up modem driver, but then crashes on the installing to phone step...
drvins.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close..
Any ideas?
Might I suggest using Azilink? I have had nothing but trouble with PdaNet and never got it to work. I got Azilink to work just fine for me, see earlier posts for more info and downloads.
hi new here and don't have the phone yet but plan on getting it friday. quick question and if this has been answered or is common knowledge i apologize searched on here and google but no answer. can the phone receive calls and what not while tethered? sorry for the newb question and thanks for the patience in advance.
