just pair the pre with your bluetooth enabled computer then enable usb tethering on in the mytether app also make sure dhcp is enabled and you should be good to go with bluetooth tethering.I've installed the 2.x app, the only thing missing is the Bluetooth tethering, but the WiFi works great..

My Tether turns mild-mannered Palm Pres into wild and crazy hotspots

My Tether turns mild-mannered Palm Pres into wild and crazy hotspots
Official application portals like Apple's App Store and Palm's App Catalog are the big box retailers of the mobile space: plenty of choices, but to get the really good stuff you have to go elsewhere. Case in point: My Tether, an app that, naturally, allows tethering through a Pre, and does so quite comprehensively. Palm's savior can be directly attached through USB, but Bluetooth and WiFi are also available, thus delivering the connectivity trifecta. It's a lot easier to enable than the last option we found, and though the fully-automatic, self-installing version costs $10, there's a free one if you're feeling cheap (and know your way around a shell prompt). We're still waiting to see whether Palm or Sprint will put an end to these 3G hijinks, since the pair are obviously not in favor of them, but right now this particular carrier needs every selling point it can get -- even unofficial ones like this.

Ok i don't feel so dumb now... vista! haha god i hate vista... but no it has not been answered yet. however i did run into something similar at work on some of the display computers running vista i kept trying and eventually it worked.
i did some more looking around and and trouble shooting I was able to get it to work after about 2 hours of messing around but its hit and miss... it seems as if windows can not always detect what protocol to use when looking for the out side net ahoc maybe? not sure but same prob on 3 of my computers running vista and same on an XP system... but every time with out wep on works fine 
Ok after more messing around with it (It's now 4:32AM) I know I need to get a life but I just cant stop when the prob is not solved some times...
After quit a bit of testing this is what i have come up with...
I think it's a Windows Prob
(Ubuntu worked ever time with or with out wep) when I was trying to connect before I would just find the network for the pre in the list of networks i would click connect (I was connected to my home wireless at this point) and it would auto disconnect from my home wifi and after I entered the key it would connect to the pre but no joy would not see out side net... So what I found out was if you disconnect from what ever wireless network you are on and let it sit about 5 sec then look for the pre in the list and click connect it would work ok this method worked on all 3 vista computers I had... 
Just to be sure of this I tried the old way once more and again it would not work...
I hope this bit of info helps... If you could test this out and let us all know if this indeed works or it is something that just works with my computers thanks...

Are you sure about that second part? Just enabling tethering without a computer hooked up will still cause the pre browser to say there is no internet connection available.yes it is normal.... sometimes when your internet on the computer is completely inactive you might be able to browse the web on pre otherwise you cant. but your text messages and phone calls will come in normally.
help!!!..my tethering stop working..i am not sure why?..was it because i unistall the mojo sdk??..do i need to keep that on my computer??
Just donated.
papla i think you need to keep the SDK installed because you need the novacom driver... Im not hightech with this but maybe you could just install the driver back but why delete the SDK anyway.. Try reinstalling it.

You only need the novacom driver and SDK for the install. Once mytether is installed on the pre and functioning, you do not need novacom. It would be kind of a pain if you had to get novacom working on every computer that you wanted to tether.papla i think you need to keep the SDK installed because you need the novacom driver...

It's true you don't need Novacom drivers, but unfortunately youYou only need the novacom driver and SDK for the install.

do need USBNet drivers installed if you want to do USB tethering
and USBNet cannot be installed on XP sp2. I've been getting
by with WiFi tethering but my laptop's Wifi is flakey (often
refuses to leave one network to connect to another) so I end up
rebooting *a lot*.

For the most part, it's awesome. on line 3, however, the mount command should be 'mount -o remount,rw /' not 'mount -o remount rw, /'. You should also do a 'mount -o remount,ro /' when you're done, just to be nice and leave everything the way you found it. I'm sure that if I wasn't a noob I would've known it from the get-go, but someone should mention that you actually need to be root when executing the command. If you, like I did, try just putting a 'sudo' in front of the command, the wget gets run as root, but /bin/sh doesn't, which results in a big bucket of fail.
I ended up installing it manually anyway, because I've used the optware ipkg to install. ipkg-opt worked just fine for the 1.2 version, so I anticipate it will work well with this version as well. The install script really did help me through the manual install process using ipkg-opt. Awesome work!

ya. Try going into your network card properties and uncheck the v6 ip option and that might help. Vista is lame Ok i don't feel so dumb now...

If you use Pocket Mirror and My Tether you need to make sure that in My Tether you turn off the USB net when trying to use Pocket Mirror to sync your info.
