Does anyone have any successful experience with this?
The reason that I want to do this is when I travel to MIL's house next year I want to have internet access. She doesn't have internet at her house. I can use my BB for myself but I want to show her things on the internet. The BB screen is too small for her to view comfortably. So I was thinking of taking my HP laptop with me.
I have Windows XP on the laptop. My BB is a Curve with 4.2.2 OS. My service is T-Mobile.
Any tips?

Do you have modem driver CD for BB? It supposed to include with package.
I did tested with modem on my BB and it worked fine on Windows because Verizon include driver CD on almost all phone.
Without modem driver would be very painful to tethering like happened to my att BB that don't have modem driver and alot of headache to work out then gave up.
If not then you could find proxy based application but would be more slower.
