    Software hangs when using usb tethered internet
    « on: October 15, 2016, 02:38:36 PM »
    Hi all,

    I ran into a peculiar problem with my Windows 7 Desktop. Whenever I am using my phone's internet on my PC via tethering (not when browsing the phone's SD card), my softwares hang and crash. Or if I try starting the software once I am connected to the net, the software wont start till the USB is plugged out. Software starts as soon as the usb is disconnected. Searched the net for solutions but it seems that there is more than one reason why this happens and hence different specific solutions. Dont know which one should I try. Like removing the yellow marked device in device manager dint work.

    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

      I suggest you try to update the drivers of Ethernet and Android Tethering port, then test again. It should be a driver issue.
