    buy pdanet and don't worry about it. the Verizon tether is worthless & the Rooted version is full of bugs depending on which machine your trying to use it on. its $15 and all u have to do is connect it.

    I never had issue with wifi tether app either.
    How do you know it's not the phone? did you try it with other computers?
    are you sure your phone is rooted?
