What's a good way to respond to sms messages on my phone, through my desktop pc? I do not have wifi, just my phone's usb/tethering connection.

Are there any guides to get this working on windows, only using a usb tether connection? It seems to want the devices to be connected to the same network to talk to each other. Am I missing something?

Yes, you do need both devices to be on the same network. USB tethering does just that (your pc connects to your phones internet connection).

I just get this on android.

On the desktop client, it also shows no devices

you could try the hamburger menu in the top right to add your pc with an (network) IP. If you're tethered and that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.
