ATT will just destroy you, that's what happens. They aim their guidance missiles in your direction.

First you have to create an ad-hoc wireless network on your PC by setting it up on your existing wireless network connection http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...tup/adhoc.mspx After you create the network you have to attach to it from your iPhone then run the 3proxy socks server. I'm a Mac user so I'm doing this from memory but I'm pretty sure this is the correct process because I've done it before with a Motorola A1000 running Symbian.

if its not working restart your iphone. and also make sure before connecting to the net you type "socks" on your mobile terminal on iphone.

the step by step procedure is very easy to understand... pls read the first page!!!

Agreed... the mac guide is 100% accurate, if you were not successful then you didn't read it carefully.

ok I think I got it. I'm trying to use my 2wire modem as a wireless adaptor it has wifi so I thought it would work. So I guess I need to buy an adaptor for my pc try again on Friday. Thanks for the help

Can anyone tell me how to prevent the wireless connection between the laptop and the iphone going down when the iphone goes to sleep?

or do u have to constantly play with the iphone every 2 mins? that's kinda annoying.

hmmm... not sure but mine keeps running even when the iPhone goes into sleep mode. but i still can't get it to work with either firefox or IE7...

does it have to be a certain version of firefox? I had to manually create the key "network.proxy.remote_dns" in firefox and set it to true.

I did get it to work with AIM though and works flawlessly with it. Can chat, send files, and open picture sessions. but i would like to get it to work with a browser too.

could it be the windows firewall or something? but i think if it were even AIM wouldn't work... and i know the 3proxy socks server is working cuz AIM is working but not any of my browsers.

Somebody respond after they get their first bill back.

I've tethered on my iPhone before.
I didn't get any fines or extra charges.
I did it for about 2 days not continusly total of prob 8 hours.
Don't make it obvious.
The quality is pretty shitty.
Like dial up lol.

I was thinking of doing the same thing.
AT&T Right?
Your phone won't brick no matter what sim your put in it.
Now if its AT&T it will work automaticly.
If it doesn't you will have to unlock which is coming soon.
But since it's AT&T it should be good to go.
PM me when you do it.
Also how AT&T does your contract.
Like if you cancel your old one?
