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

systems support USB tethering and how to
