Even though this phone was manufactured by HTC (a great manufacturer of Smartphones) this particular phone was made with cost efficient (read: Cheep) components. As such, it has very limited capabilities. One of the limitations this phone has - is that it has no modem. Without a Modem, the phone cannot tether a PC to the Internet.
There are a couple of available upgrades for your phone. To see them, click here: http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=311&act=sd&cat=all
An alternate way to obtain wireless (cellular) access to the Internet with a PC is to use a USB Air Card. Once you download and install the air card's software to your PC, you simply insert your phone's SIM card into the Air Card and then plug the air card into an available USB port on your PC. Talk to your Cellular service provider about a low cost USB air card. They work quite well.
