Slight issue with Lumia820 -> WinXP and PC suite

Hello,

 

I wonder if I'm the only one dumb enough to try to connect my laptop Pc which has WinXP as an OS to internet via Lumia 820. Now I do know that the WLAN sharing should be used, but if my carrier ceases to support tethering then how can I access internet via PC Suite? My PC Suite complains that the Lumia 820 doesn't have proper driver and MS Windows update doesn't have one either.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

 -Bas

Windows Phone devices, one of which is the Lumia 820, are not supported by PC suite or NokiaSuite.

 

If your carrier does not allow using the internet connection for tethering you will not be able to use the phones connection on your PC.

My laptop running in windows XP ceases tethering with my nokia lumia 820 after 5-10 mins.
Can't load fb, youtube and etc. I'm using internet sharing from my lumia.
Can you tell me what to do because I can't surf the internet with my laptop now.
