But every time I try to test it, it just says "HotSpot failed to start"
Mobile hotspot installs a custom kernel as a prerequisite, did you reboot the device after installing it? If not you've still the original kernel loaded and M.H. can't work.

bye!
I did restart it. I then reflashed my phone, and HotSpot was on the phone after the reflash.
HotSpot wants to establish the data connection itself. It failed for me when I had a pre-existing connection, but worked when I started with none. This may of course be worthless info in your case...

If you have followed all the steps described above and it doesn't work, then some error message is needed to figure what is wrong. What gets displayed if u open an X term and type
Code:
mobilehotspot
Also note that using the USB cable the n900 can serve as a hsdpa/umts modem for a connected PC. That seems to be your use case, not so and is simpler tan mobilehotspot. Search the forums if you need info.
Goodluck, HA
