Is it possible to tether into a windows 8 tablet from a windows 7 laptop?
Hey guys. I have a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet that has the ability to connect to the internet over the cell phone network using an built in air time card. The tablet runs windows 8 32-bit.
I also have a laptop computer with me that I would like to tether into the tablet and use the cell phone network internet through the tablet into the laptop. The laptop uses windows 7 64-bit.
Would this tethering situation be possible? What kind of cable would I need? Could I use a male to male usb cable? What kind of software would I need to get this to work? Where can I find this software? Are there any free options?
I have tethered into android smart phones before on the laptop and it has worked great for internet, the software I used for that was called PDA Net. But I have been given this Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet and would like to know if that could be tethered into from the laptop. I was under the impression that PDA Net only works for smart phones running the android operating system, but does it also work on tablets running full versions of windows 8 32-bit?
Thank you for all replies. I appreciate you guys helping me. Thanks again.
