imageNullRiver's iPhone App - NetShare briefly brought 3G/EDGE Tethering for iPhone

One of the features missing from the first generation iPhone and the new iPhone 3G is the ability to tether the iPhone to feed a data connection to your computer to surf the internet. It would have been a treat if it was possible on iPhone 3G. That was all...

    Trying to connect an XP laptop and cant figure out how to get the laptop to resolve domain names. Firefox can connect to the socks proxy and bring up pages if you know the IP address but I can't get it to resolve any domain names. Anyone have any ideas?

    I've tried setting the XP machine's DNS servers to point to the iPhone, Ive tried the default gateway pointing to the iPhone and several combinations of the two.

    What about Proxifier? Wouldn't that work and be very easy?

    Unfortunately I don't have my iPhone 3g yet, so I can't try.

    To force FireFox using dns over socks:

    Go to Firefox's address bar and type in "about:config"

    Hit Enter

    Find the "Filter" field and type in "socks"

    Hit Enter

    Find the entry that looks like "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns"

    Double click

    Change value to "true

    I was able to purchase NetShare yesterday while it was still available, for my iPhone 3G. The environment in which I'm trying to make this work is with a MacBook running OSX 10.5.4

    Unfortunately, despite trying for more than an hour, following all the instructions for setting NetShare up I still have not been able to get NetShare to work. I went through all the steps from scratch several times and even did the step suggested in one of the blogs, which is to open up safari on the iphone and then open up netshare. When I open up safari, I see the 3G icon, but when I open up NetShare it indicates zero connections.

    I was able to confirm that I can the ping the iPhone at 192.168.10.1 from Terminal on my mac, but that's the best I can do.

    I purchased this for $10.00 yesterday and it's doing nothing for me right now.

    Any suggestions?

    Contact Nullriver. I use several of their products and have been happy with their response times to support questions.

    I am able to get Netshare running. Initially I configured it password free. Once i confirmed the settings work I added a password and create a specific netshare profile to make switching back and forth easier (as NR suggests). If you leave your iphone screen on, it shows you the number of connections and the amount of data being passed through. Wish it showed accumulative data though.

    Stil trying to get SSH to work. Web browsing works great and speeds are good.
