like all the apps, this one is cool, but Edge is slow enough on the iPhone. I would not want to tether it to laptop. You might not even get GSM speed.

Ok I am going to assume your total N00b:
To tether Your iPhone in windows (I am using XP) I assume this will work for all versions.

First get these Programs:

ZiPhone - Used to Jailbreak, Unlock, etc
- Version 3.0

PuTTY - SSH and SOCKS telnet client.
- Version 0.60

Thats All the Software.

Heres what to do:

1. Run ZiPhone - Select the 'Do It All' Option.
2. Create a a Wireless p2p or Ad-Hoc network.
3. Connect to it with iphone.
4. Assign iPhone a static IP:
--I am using 198.162.0.2 - 255.255.255.0
5. Assign your PC a static IP.
--I am using 198.162.0.1 - 255.255.255.0
6. In your Installer.app add the source:
-http://bitspinn.org/apptapp/
--Under 'Networking' install XSrelay
---Install Boss Prefrences
----Under 'Utilities' install Boss Prefs for XSrelay
7. On your home Screen open Boss Prefs and make sure WiFi, SSH, and XSrelay are on

YOUR iPhone is Setup!

I am using the firefox Browser to route through the proxy.

Configure Firefox.

1. Tools>Options - Advanced Button>Network Tab
-Connection>Settings

Maunal Proxy Configuration:
Socks Host: 192.168.0.2
Port: 1080

APPLY

In the address bar 'about:config'
Use the filter bar to search 'Socks'
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns is the one we are looking for double click to make the value TRUE
ok your done...

Open PuTTY connect to IP 192.168.0.2 use thier default port 22
once in login:'root' and password:'alpine'
(note the 1st login will take about a minute to validate)

You should be surfing the net.

hey all,
i tryed to set up xsrelay to use my iphone with fw 1.1.4 as a gprs modem, but somehow it just won't work properly.
I installed xsrelay and the bossprefs plugin.
set up a ad-hoc network and got the connection to work with static ips.
also i changed the proxy preferences in my firebox browser.
after connection via the ad-hoc network I start putty and connect to my iphone, even entering acc. & pass works without any problems.
pinging the iphone via putty works as well.
but still: When I open Firefox it just doesn't load a website?!?!
Do I have to put in a DNS-Server Adresse somewhere maybe?
I used this tutorial:

OS is winXP, maybe someone can help me out.

cheers!

Hi everybody,

In fact, I would like to do the opposite : my macbook is connected to the Net via my company network and I would like to access the Net with my iPhone through my macbook in order to install apps for my iPhone for example.

Any idea to suggest ?

Thanks in advance

Bruno:

You can use the Synet Windy31 USB Wireless Router (http://www.synetusa.com/) to share a connection.

For your Mac, you could run this device through Windows XP in a Virtual Machine that shares USB ports with the host, like Sun's free VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/).
