[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1854874, member: 396914"] Charlie, I just got back from a trip using my iPhone as hotspot. I used a USB cable to attach to the Mac, then turned on hotspot on the phone, went to network settings in System Preferences and there was a USB connection showing that then worked to connect me to the iPhone via the cable instead of Wifi. That then left the WiFi on the iPhone to connect to the hotel system or cellular service. (I had to do that because for some reason when I tried connecting the MBP directly to the hotel WiFi I never got the login dialog to enter the required password. Wasn't worth doing a lot of troubleshooting, I just wired up the phone, let it connect [and show the password dialog] and use that to get out to the internet.) The key thing was that there was a USB connection to use to get to the iPhone. [/QUOTE]
