The 2 Gen iPhone will tether and work fine. I used to use it often, especially when my home internet would go down (sometimes frequent). However, with the update to the newer versions of iTunes and software update on the phone a couple of months ago, the option to back-door open up tethering has been closed. I’m not certain if you can down grade you phone software back to a point were it will work. You could simply try it using the above directions. If it works, then don’t upgrade you phone software or iTunes when prompted (like I did) and it should still work. I tried redoing it after my software upgrade, but it doesn’t enable the tethering feature (it doesn’t even show up on the phone any longer).

I found this. It is way easier. I didn’t want to mess with jailbreaking. It took me like 5 min and I was online. REALLY EASY!

There is a much easier solution for this called PDA Net that you can get in Cydia and be browsing at 3G Speeds with the iPhone. Its pretty slick and you don’t have to deal with the Proxy’s!

Hi Adrian, not sure what you mean.
But I what I do (after I have installed Iphonemodem)

- I have created a Ad-Hoc network on my pc and let my iphone connect to this network via Wifi.
– Check the IP adress of Iphone when connected to the ad-hoc network (Settings, WiFi Networks, tap on the network created above)
- In Firefox, Options, Network, Setting, Manual Proxy Configuration at Socks Host I put the Iphone IP Adress and port 1080.
- I switch on the iphone modem on the Iphone.
- Surf internet via Firefox.

connect with my laptop via Ad-hoc network to the Iphone. I set the iphones IP address in the manual proxy configuration (port 1080)

@Tom
run “socks” in the MobileTerminal.

This doesn’t work for me btw. Tried several times but no luck.
