Chris, the D3100 seems to have a USB hub so tethering should be possible.

I bought a cheap Toshiba Satellite for $349.00, updated the 2GB of RAM to 8GB for $47.96 and swapped the 5400rpm spindle drive for a 120GB SSD for $63.20, total cost $460.16, and it's now quite capable of running CS6.

Oh and the other thing I did was to download and install a clean copy of W10 as the W10 OS it shipped with had so much bloatware included it slowed start-up down to a snail's pace.
