Tutorial : Use iPhone as Modem (Windows)
Official Method
The iPhone 4 now supports Wireless Tethering with the latest firmware update.
To enable Tethering Officially on the iPhone 4 follow these steps:
1. Open Settings
2. Select Personal Hotspot
Unofficial Method (Requires Jailbreak) For those on iPhone 2G/3G/3GS
1. Open Cydia
2. Goto Search and search for “MyWi”
3. Download and Install MyWi.
4. Open MyWi and the rest options are pretty self explanatory.
===============================================================
Old Method
The iPhone surely lacks some basic features but 3rd Party Developers have made sure that those flaws and drawbacks are fixed using 3rd Party Applications. Earlier you needed to Jailbreak and use Installer.app to run these, but now with the App Store, Apple has officially opened up the iPhone.
One such application released recently is the NetShare Application ! This application allows you to use your EDGE/3G Data Network and route in a way which shares your iPhones Net connection to your PC via a Socks5 Proxy Server !
This Application is currently Paid and costs 10$ ! I personally don’t think its worth that much as I’ve been using this feature for free for over an year now via the following method by cre.ations.net !
Anyhow I’ll explain in Brief how to use this for your Windows based PC.
On iPhone :
1. Download the NetShare Application from the AppStore.
2. In your iPhone go to Settings > Wifi > Choose your Network and Select “Static” ! Note the IP Address here.
3. Delete the DNS values
4. Now open NetShare Application and it should show the same IP that you noted down before.
On PC :
1. Open up Firefox > Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Click on Settings
2. Choose the Manual Proxy Configuration > In the Socks Host enter the IP Address shown in the Net Share application and also enter the Port shown in Netshare here.
3. Make sure you select Socks5
4. Click Ok and your Done and should be able to browse any sites !
For other Applications like Yahoo Messenger follow the same. Yahoo too has Proxy Settings so use the same details there.
Now enjoy 3G Speeds on your Laptop/PC !

@Rubal : Are you sure you copied it correctly to the /Applications folder at the Root directory ? The application should display no matter what !
Do re-check if you’ve copied it to the correct location. There should be other applications like AppStore.app, Calculator.app and others along with the NetShare.app
And also you have to Respring your iPhone inorder for the Application to show. To do that now simply Restart your iPhone !

@Tanmay
Its in the same folder in which i hav all the remaining apps.
also i hav respringed as well nothing works…
I hav an application by the name glauncher which i got from cydia, used to launch any application , its shows netShare in it , but whn i click on it nothing happens,, where as if i click any other app, the app gets started.
donno why this is happening…

@Rubal : I guess somethings wrong with the Application folder then….might be that something went wrong while moving the Application folder.
Check for any other Application of App related folder. See in location like private/var/mobile and others…
If nothing works…just pwn your iPhone again !

@Rubal :Forgot to add.
Try downloading something from the AppStore first. If you don’t have an iTunes account create one asap from the Tutorial I just wrote. Download 1 Application and see if that comes up or not…..

I cannot find the NetShare App on the Apple App Store. No such app exists any longer I suppose. Maybe Apple wised up
Sep 03, 2008 @ 21:17:40
@Matt : Thats right NetShare is now removed from the AppStore….you’ll have to download the Cracked IPA of NetShare.
Just Google for “NetShare IPA rapidshare.com” and you’ll find that Application !

Hmm sorry but I don’t think there is anything special needed to connect via iPhone…if you have bluetooth you need NO application, NO jailbreak…pair the iPhone, enable tethering and you’re ready to go
