How do I connect my netbook to my SF android phone for the internet.

Hi all.

My BT phoneline went down today and BT have said it can't be fixed until Tuesday. I'd like to connect my Samsung NC10 netbook to my Orange San Francisco phone so that I can use the internet. How do I do this? Is bluetooth the only way or is there a better method?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running froyo on my sf from modaco, it comes with usb tethering that works a treat in win7. If you have eclaire, download barnacle wifi tethering from the market, that worked great when I was on 2.1...

regards,
J.

Thanks. How does barnacle work exactly?

It will create a hotspot using your San Francisco's mobile Internet and then you can connect your NC10 to that via wireless.

The whole process is seamless in FroYo (2.2), not totally sure on Barnacle, but it should work identically to the one that's built into 2.2.

tethering and the hotspot would work like suggested above, if not just backup your contacts and applications and install jap jelly rls9, should work on that, and its stable and really fast

and get launcher pro if you do get jj
