Section 'K' : Tethering :

As of iPhone 3.1, the *.ipcc carrier bundles are signed, and you can no longer force tethering capability simply by crafting your own bundle.

How to Enable Tethering on Your 3.1.2 iPhone 3G, 3GS (by iClarified) 20/10/2009

Prerequisites: You must be jailbroken on the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware. You need to have SSH installed and you need to know the IP Address of your device on the local network.

Tutorial: How to Enable Tethering on Your 3.1.2 iPhone 3G, 3GS

1. Using iPhone as a Modem [Tethering] [Carrier Settings needed] (2G Phones not applicable)

*Maxis is the official carrier with any purchase of iPhone 3G/3GS. Maxis tethering settings are by default ready.

iTunes 8.2 and above is required for tethering in all desktop/laptop.

2. Bluetooth Tethering
Bluetooth: On iPhone, choose Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Then refer to the documentation that came with your computer system software to pair and connect iPhone with your computer.

Mac
Bluetooth needs updating. I had to use System Update to get the "Bluetooth Firmware Update" for the MBA, apply it in, and restart the MBA. Turn both the MBA's and iPhone's BT on to "discoverable", initiate discovery from the MBA's side. Pair them together and let the OS X discover the available services on the iPhone, which would add BT connection as a network port. Finish the process and quit.

Next, you need to enable Internet Sharing via the Preference pane. GO under "Sharing" and tick the box labelled Internet Sharing. Share the connection from Bluetooth, and tick the Bluetooth connection that has just been created when you did the pairing initially. Voila! Internet tethering via BT!

Windows
Turn on iPhone bluetooth. Go to vista control panel -> bluetooth devices, then select add. After detect, pin verified, it connect to my phone. Then, go to network set up and add PAN.

For pairing with your computer (Bluetooth) I went to my notebook's (VIsta) Bluetooth Devices and clicked Add. Windows will detect as a phone. Select to add. The screen will show you some pin no. Key in that no into your iphone. Once you have keyed in, your phone will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices.

Next step, go to Network and Sharing Center. Select Setup a new connection. After that a dialog box will appear, select Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN). After you click next, it will ask you which device. Select the device that you have added earlier. Then Click Connect. Wait for few seconds and your tethering is up and running. Well at least for me. Hope this helps.

1) Enable BT on iPhone & Windows
2) Add device on Windows
3) Once added, create PAN network
4) Then connect to PAN network
I managed to connect via BT without iTunes 8.2 installed.
