If it doesn't, please bring up network perferences manually to make sure it uses DHCP. (figure 2) 3. On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and check "USB Debugging" (figure 3). 4.

After this launch PdaNet on the phone and enable USB Tether. 5. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, you should see the menu icon changes state, click on it to connect. When the icon stops blicking and turns blue, your computer should be online. 6. If the PdaNet menu bar icon does not stop blicking when you connect PdaNet, you will need to manully add the new network interface: open Network Preference on Mac and select "+", then add the "en" interface with the highest number. Network traffics on the Mac will go through PdaNet only if your system does not have other connectivities.
