I have a T-Mobile 8700g, and I'm trying to tether it to my laptop (simple enough). I tried following N8DBB's guide, and I have the latest Desktop Manager software from T-Mobile (4.2, no the 4.1 listed in the guide). The problem is that there are no com ports listed at all. The software connects to the phone through USB fine, and I do have service. I assume there is just some driver missing or something that the phone isn't appearing as a com port, but I really have no idea. Any suggestions?
