#Galaxy s7 usb tethering for mac how to#

(Yes, I should have tested with the other name from the MacBook, but I wasn't even sure how to format it for the smartphone's side.) I tested the WiFi tethering with two of the names and it seemed to work in both cases. On the MacBook Pro I was able to find two candidate names, and I got a third candidate from another source. No question about MAC addresses, but the computer name is uncertain. This involves building a list consisting of pairs, where each pair has a computer name and a MAC address for that computer's WiFi card. As already hinted, my friend is on the paranoid side, and therefore, if forced to use WiFi tethering rather than the cable, wants to use the option to specify the authorized computers that can tether. Part two of the question involves WiFi tethering, but I think this is out of scope here. The MacBook Pro is still new and I am still a bit worried about breaking it with the wrong software.Д¬an any of the kind folks around here address the question of a USB driver for cabled tethering? At least I have not been able to find any such information on any of the official websites nor in a long and futile telephone conversation with Docomo support and technical support. At least one exists, but apparently not according to Apple, Samsung, or NTT Docomo (the provider of the data service to the smartphone). Therefore, my first approach to a solution was to find a USB driver for this tethering. This does not work because there is no suitable USB driver installed on the OS X Yosemite side for the MacBook Pro.

My friend prefers to tether from a Samsung Galaxy smartphone to a MacBook Pro (and other computers) via a USB cable.
