    How much data transfer would make ATT suspicious? It works great but I don't want to get spanked with a big bill from ATT.

    I have IBM thinkpad and it comes with Thinkvantage Access connections to handle the setting up of wired & wireless networks. Its not allowing me to setup an adhoc network with DHCP, asking me to enter static ip. I gave 192.168.1.5 as ip address, Subnet mass 255.255.0.0 and Default gateway of 192.168.1.1. Both iphone and PC are recognizing each other and iphone is taking an ip address of entirely different range. PDAnet able to detect my Edge connection, but keep saying to disconnect and reconnect to PC and relaunch the program and I am unble to connect to the net so far.

    How much data can you use before ATT will notice and possibly cause some trouble?

    Pdanet was working perfectly fine for me for a while. Now all of a sudden when i connect my iphone to the ad-hoc my laptop shows it is connected and so does pdanet but my laptop says there is no internet connection. I have tried everything and it still wont work. Also, the pdanet says I have 0/0 bytes 0 connections and 0 DNS. Am i missing or doing something wrong?

    Does anyone know how much web traffic/downloads you can use before AT&T knows you are tethering?

    PDAnet is outstanding... Can use the iPhone for games etc etc...However version revisons state that PDAnet supports VPN connections .... not so unless im doing something wrong... I use a work laptop and we use Cisco VPN .. it will not connect --- error 412 the remote host has timed out.. plug in a normal modem and bang connects first time.... anyone else got this issue ?? Is it a trial limitation ?

    thanks

    Questions:

    Is it possible to connect multiple computers to a PDA Net enabled iPhone like a real wifi router?

    Does anybody have experience using this with Claro in Argentina?

    Thanks,
    Tomas

    I was tethering just fine, with Vista. This is a wonderful program. All of a sudden though, my ad-hoc networks on Vista (that I set up to use for tethering) are no longer broadcasting any signal. Thus my iphone can not see the networks to join them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    I am having major problems. Iphone is o2 UK, iphone 3g, 2.2.1 (5H11).

    1) In USB mode, I am able to get the desktop client to connect for about 3 minutes. I can browse the web at good speeds. Then for no reason, and without displaying a notification of any kind, the connection drops. If I hover over the desktop client icon in system tray, it will then say "Ready to connect". When I go to reconnect, I get "pairing error err=0xE8000001" and no connection. If I completely exit the client software, reconnect the iphone and restart the client, then I am able to achieve connection for another 3 minutes, but then the problem reoccurs.

    This happens when the iphone has connectivity on both a wifi and 3g network.

    2) When using wifi router mode, the ad-hoc network is created successfully and the iphone joins it without a problem. But I am rarely able to get internet connection on my laptop after the connection. I don't receive any specific error codes (everything looks like it is working, but in IE and Firefox all I get is 404s).

    Can anyone suggest any ideas? Thanks.

    I was talking to a att rep and eventually she figured out i jailbroke my iphone and i admited it she said that att doesnt care about that because the phone is mine and i paid for it i can do whatever i want to it, so i asked her about data usage and how much of the unlimited i could use and she used some program on her computer and typed in 100 gigs to see if there would be a restriction on that much but she made a typo and put 1 terabyte and it still can back as ok. she said unlimited internet means unlimited internet. she did say maybe if i used alot of data att they might notice but she doubted it. still, i might be cautious. Ive been on the internet for a while already and im using pdanet right now.

    Thanks so much!

    This is well explained and very simple to follow. I'm using this setup on a Droidx with a home brew WinXP computer, along with 3 WinXP Laptops, works perfectfor me.....

    Thanks again

    Has anyone on this forum ever had a PDANET error 31 (state 5)on windows 7 while attempting USB tethering before? If so, is there a fix?

    All this hassle makes me think I should just get a Droid. What's so much better about the iphone anyway?

    Although many wireless routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default wireless router address, not every wireless router does this.

    If your router has DHCP capability, then a connected personal computer must be able to obtain an Default IP address through the router completely on its own. Just be certain the default router IP address and the Default gateway are definitely the very same.

    In most circumstances, that Default IP will be 192.168.1.1.
