Sharing your phone's data connection
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are no wireless connections
available. You can share your phone's mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB
cable (USB tethering). You can also share your phone's data connection with more than a single
device at a time by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the status bar and as an
ongoing notification in the notifications drawer.

systems and other details, visit http://www.android.com/tether.

TIP!
If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavours of Linux
(such as Ubuntu), you don't usually need to prepare your computer for tethering. But
if you're running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may
need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. For the most
current information about which operating systems support USB tethering and how to
configure them, visit http://www.android.com/tether.
