Guest r0bertdenir0 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I had to look around for this more than 2 weeks couldn't find a fix - maybe this will save someone else the time. This is an inf file to setup USB tethering in Windows XP. I have a U8800H which XP was only picking up as "Huawei HSUSB Device" The tetherxp.inf fix didn't work for me - I had to manually add the device IDs to get it working. These are the steps I followed: 1. Connect phone to PC via USB. 2. Go into Phone->Settings->Wireless & networks->Tethering->Enable USB tethering. 3. Windows XP picks up a device but doesn't know what it is. 4. Extract inf to any folder. 5. In the Hardware Wizard choose Update from Sepcific Location->Include this Location in Search 6. Browse to folder with inf 7. Click Next. 8. XP detects an Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS network adapter. At this point I had a network adapter but no connection. I went into Control Panel & created a broadband always on network connection which was linked to the adapter. A new Local Area Connection 5 popped up. But the adapter was disabled & enabling it only gave a "Connection Failed" message. I turned tethering off on the phone & back again. The Local Area Connection 5 changed to connected & is working now. It's possible you don't need to create the connection yourself - maybe just turning tethering off then on will create the LAN connection for you.huawei_u8800h_tetherxp.rar Edited June 25, 2011 by r0bertdenir0
