What I did was plug in the galaxy to the USB, Kies should start. Make sure you have your phone plugged in first

You don't need to use the USB it works perfectly over Mobile AP.

Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile AP Settings > Tick mobile AP on, hey presto your own mifi.

Make sure who ever your with allows you to tether with it, some operators only allow mobile internet to be used for the mobile not tethering. You may need to use a different APN etc.

Yeah, now change your username if you want to hear those ideas. Nothing worse than a self confessed tech illiterate passoff of the original Sponge

It's very clearly explained in the manual.
