I got this working with my 2g. Not sure how as everywhere says that the 2g does not support tethering. I used the create a config setting, and added my apn and checked turn on tethering. I thought nothing happened so deleted the config but then noticed that the tethering option had appeared in the network settings.
It works really well via USB and XP regonised the phone as an Ethernet connection. Fantastic.

Just to let almost all vista users out there. When jailbreaking or hacking into your iphone in almost any way always put your pc into safe mode. Works everytime.

After 3.1 update visual voicemail no longer worked and itunes crashes when connected to PC. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Same experience here… downloaded…. rebooted…. nada. Must have been something in the iphone update a few days ago that killed this. Too bad.

I had everything working great via bluetooth Monday. Today, mine has vanished too. I’ve reset the phone and tried to re-download with no luck. It says it has downloaded, but no tether option anymore. I’d love to know if anyone has a solution!!

I downloaded the mobileconfig, turned on the tethering option from the iphone’s settings, and rebooted the iphone. Now I don’t understand what I need to do next; I plugged the iphone into my laptop via the usb cable, but there is no new internet connection showing up when I open network connections. It only displays my home wireless connection, and the LAN connection which is not plugged in. People keep saying it’s so simple, just download the mobileconfig, reboot, and voila! So what am I doing wrong, or what do I still need to do?

Keeping your profile in my iPhone with the 3.1 Update kills the Visual Voicemail feature.
It took me two days to figure that one out.
My GF still doesn’t believe that’s why I didn’t answer any of her voicemails yesterday.
Thanks.

Works directly out the box for me using iPhone 3GS (3.01 firmware), Telstra DataPack settings and Windows 7 Enterprise.

This is a great way to enable internet tethering! Kudos for making it happen…and to those that have “operator error” types of human evolutionary deficiencies and find all sorts of other unrelated problems after following this amazingly simple, yet powerful marvel of ingenuity and only have negative input driven by emotions without reason or logic behind said input…go die. twice. ungrateful turds. Again, great work guys!

This was so easy its insane, i saw several other tutorials that involved jailbreaking which i dont want to do. Seriously, all you do is install it, reboot and your done. I did a reset network setting to try to fix something else but i dont think it was relevent. My lapotp picked up the network displayed as “Network 59″ or something vauge…this IS GREAT …THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
