    3. On your smartphone's home screen, press the "Menu" key
    4. Select "Settings" and tap "More settings"
    5. Press "Tethering and Mobile HotSpot"
    6. To start sharing your connection with your PC, tap the "USB tethering" checkbox on your smartphone. Press "OK" if you wish to learn more about tethering
    7. Once you are finished sharing your mobile connection with your computer, tap and uncheck the "USB tethering" checkbox on your smartphone's display
    8. Disconnect the USB cable
