When I connected the USB I got the selections: Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage, and PC Internet. After updating the software I no longer get the PC Internet choice and I can no longer tether. Does anyone know what happened and is there anything I can do to get it back?

Now I have to decide if I would use it enough to go to all that trouble.

Might be as simple as that but I wouldn't be able to say for sure.

The connection works for a few seconds then the connection is dropped. I tried it a few times. I think AT&T is blocking it.
