Hi all....I have successfully installed clockworkmod's tether app on my iMac so that I can tether the 4G connection from my droid...

But now I'm trying to use the iMac's "internet sharing" feature to share the tethered connection via Ethernet to another PC...but am not having any luck. (I can successfully share the internet connection when I'm connected to the internet over Wi-Fi, so I know the feature works). But I need to somehow configure the "share FROM" interface properly (it's not Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc....no new interface pops up once I start running the tether app). Is it a virtual interface?

Does anyone know how to configure this "source"/"share from" interface? Is it the one that occasionally shows up as XT912, which I guess is my droid razr? I have even tried selecting the XT912 as the source for internet sharing, even verified that the XT912 connection is green/connected/has an ip address, all with no luck. Again, I can successfully share my Wi-Fi connection when my iMac is connected through my Verizon hotspot, so I know the internet sharing works, I just can't get it to work to share the tethered connection (which just happens to be my unlimited data connection).

Anybody? Or even being pointed somewhere else where I can find help on this issue would be great....thanks much.
