hey umm after updating my iphone to 2.1 it won't do the trick where the phone connected to wifi and 3g at the same time...

or am i doing something wrong? I did use the socks method with firefox when i first got the phone and it worked but now if i am connected to wifi and then try searching the internet it just times out

anyone else have this or is mine the only iphone that can't use this app because i updated?

PDAnet for iphone is avail from cydia. It works great.

Here's the new how to tutorial for tethering an iphone. 4 easy steps

1) Install an app from Cydia called PdaNet 2) make adhoc network on laptop, name whatever, use encryption if you like. 3) join network with iphone 4) Launch PdaNet by tapping app

You then browse internet freely on laptop, use mail, chat applications, web, whatever. When finished, turn off the PdaNet router by touching a single button on screen.

I can't understand why this has not spread across the internet like wild fire. It is a tethering application. Not a proxy, no configuration of applications needed. It resolves DNS queries. It actually, truly, shares the internet connection from phone to laptop. Chat, mail, web, whatever. I've used it, and it works great.

You make an adhoc network on the laptop. Join the network with the phone (just like joining WiFi network). And launch the app. From that point, the laptop has internet. Just like that. No other configuration needed what so ever. I did have to reboot the iphone after installing (the application told me to do it). And I am using TMobile unlimited Data plan, so they don't care if I tether. (they encourage it, and give instructions for other phones on hot to do it). I've seen very very little traction or mentioning of this application on internet sites.

Please spread the word. It makes Netshare, and the openssh proxy stuff look stupid.

I'm emailing all the iphone sites I can find, to try to get the word out. I have no affiliation with the software other than accidently finding it, and being unable to believe that no one seems to know about it yet

Why does Apple still think it's all about keeping AT&T happy? The iPhone is international and Apple need to start thinking that way. So what if you can't tether in the US because of telco concerns? In many other parts of the world it is perfectly acceptable and allowed by the telcos. Get your act together Apple and start thinking beyond the US.

Apple knows that tethering is possible without the carrier being aware of it and that if it will be a reason for people to jailbreak the phone, opening up cydia as a competing app store, and potentially reducing interest in Apple's iPhone related services. If ATT is unreasonable about pricing or completely resistant to tethering, some people will go with jailbreaking. It's really just a numbers game.

if apple rejects it, i hope they release it for jailbroken iphones.

The Pdanet app for the iPhone rules. It kills netshare for sure. If anyone has used it on WM it works just as good on the iPhone, hopefully apple approves it
