Tether A Windows Mobile

If you own a Windows Mobile phone with Internet capability, you can effectively share the Internet connection with your PC or notebook through a process called tethering. Tethering does not require any special software and you can connect your Windows Mobile phone to your computer through either a USB connection or Bluetooth wireless connection. While connected you have the ability to access the Internet on your computer as if it connected directly to the Internet, as long as your phone has a data signal.
