Introduction:
I’m always on the move... So I’m using celcom3g broadband... I wanna share my internet network..
My iphone3g on prepaid plan sure...
maybe will change to unlimited data + talk plan... next time

What is ICS?
Internet Connection Sharing

This method for ppl want to seed internet connection from celcom3g broadband to their beloved iphone3g via built-in wifi.

2. Next, Click the Blue Arrow

--> Choose Static



3. Done.. Now testing…

Now, test to your wifi connection.
1. Close any 3G, Edge through bosspref.

2. Choose "Weather" or other program that need internet connection..
For Example:

And this


3. You can use Winscp via wifi too..



Question:
Why after i configure my laptop, use the wifi things and then turn off the laptop.
After that, i turn my laptop..
But then when iphone3g sniff wifi cant find the laptop? Why?

Answer:
U need to connect it manually. Try look at this pic



Issue:
1. Can’t use “WPA2-Personal” setting in Network Security- Can’t be join (Tested) maybe i miss some place...
2. U may lose your setting (This happened to me often) So Solution buy wifi.. haha
If any sifu out there, care to solve this.. Thanks in advance..

no need jailbreak or anyhting?
got instructions for xp? is this the so call tier simi ring?

@rx330

This should work well with non JB'ed 3G iphones. I reckon this is called ad-hoc as setoyo stated. Could be tethering too.

"A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a kind of wireless ad-hoc network, and is a self-configuring network of mobile routers (and associated hosts) connected by wireless links"

"Tethering in cellular wireless is the connection of a non-mobile device (e.g. desktop computer, notebook computer, laptop computer), to a mobile device (e.g. cell phone, PDA) for the purpose of wireless Internet access by the non-mobile "tethered" device".

For xp... i think.. some method just different interface...

jailbreak.. no need..
virgin iphone3g can use this method too..
try it out.. and post it here bro the result..

peace..

thanks brother !! learn more against on Iphone !

thanks for the tips ts

just da guide i was looking for...
nice review bro...
appreciate it...thx a mil...

how about the other way around?
can the laptop be connected with Iphone so that it works as a modem or wifi server (not sure what is the right term) ?

Sweet guide ..

Thanks for sharing dude, awesome stuff ..

thans david, wondering got the same method to work on a mac?
as i may discard my window liao n get a mac for replacement

If you on a Mac.

Try use iphoneModem.
On your Airport- click create network- you will see your address say "iphone Modem"
Click on. No need to set any ip address.
iphone modem done everything for you.

Another app called pdaNet on Cydia works the same.

Hope u try it, give us the pro and cons...
to know what issue u get...
What im missing...
Thanks..

That mean, the iphone as a modem, isnt?

Thanks bro... really appreciate...

U can try this; Coz i dont have a mac atm... Got this from other side.. Give it a try..

1. Go to “Preferences”
2. Select “Sharing”
3. Go to “Internet Sharing”, select FireWire and Ethernet, to be sure, and tick the small box near “Internet Sharing”
4. You are ready .. Go to your iPhone .. Settings - WiFI .. then click on you connection ..

thanks for tip, bro...

This is a good guide. Cheers for u.

Can give specific methods for mac? Cos its not working with me. i created new network then,

1.System Preference
2.Sharing
3.Ethernet
4.Internet Sharing
5.Open iphone wifi, i selected the network i created.
6.Connected but cant use it.No router ip been showing.

hmm.. as in u wanna use your iphone as a modem? then pdanet/iphonemodem should do the job.. im using pdanet, works ok my macbook pro and my other windows notebook..

Here what you should do:

On MacOS, first download and copy iPhoneModem to the Applications folder on the Mac, open and click "Connect" and then open "Modem" on the iPhone.
Make sure that on the iPhone you are connected to a WiFi network named "iPhoneModem", created by the Mac application.
That's it, you can start surfing the web.

really? thanks guys

Good sharing, keep it on!

BTW, how you make ur maxis icon so nice .. (off topic)

For mac , no need to install anything if you want macbook as a router.

1) Open System Preference

2) Under Internet & Sharing, click folder sharing

3) tick To COmputer using : Airport (you can password etc)

4) tick on internet sharing.


Done. TQ.

Thanks baretta...

Just wondered bro..

Setoyo Bro,

Did not really see an answer to Bro Kasman query whether the iphone3G can be used as a modem to a windows laptop.
Appreciate some help pls. The iphone would act as a wireless router or an iphone modem using its 3G. The router would be a better option as no wires will be involve. Thanks for some info.

thanks.

This post has been edited by TeK_KeN: Nov 6 2008, 11:35 AM

Okey, For Bro Kasman query whether iphone3g can used as a modem.... YES...
it call iphone modem.. or last time, Netshare.... by using this application the iphone3g acting as modem...

BTW, this tutorial only for ppl to connect their iphone3g to laptop via built in wifi... using adhoc method..
Will find a time, to place tutorial: iphone3g as a modem.. (coming soon)

Peace..

just wanna give my 2cents here..

tried iphonemodem. tried netshare. both are rubbish..

PDANET is definitely THE fastest/troublefree way to go as far as tethering is concerned... and it's FREE! can't beat that!

any1 read this news here?

@harmeet15

woot.. hopefully it will implement in 2.2 firmware...
coz, it really useful stuff... expanding iphone3g to the limit... haha..

well, im currently posting this on my desktop using iphone as modem also known as tethering. but using 3rd party software i perhaps. the good thing is i use the current usb to connect it not wifi. . hope tethering available for 1st gen iphone too

cheers

Potion Bro,

Care to explain how you do tethering, using PDANet or iphonemodem?
Thanks Bro

pdanet n iphonemodem are two best options for tethering for win os n mac respectively...
easy 2 use...

just my 2 cents

Sifus, how connecting up using XP. Thanx.

im using iphone tunnel suite 2.7 (recommended version. latest for now). actually frozebyte has open the thread for this software but for a none-wireless SSH. this software capable on tunneling your phone which is SSH of course. and iconnect for tethering and both are using usb.
online directly using the iphone dock.

taking the guide directly from the dev (iMakkie)


for me, (guide)

1st. follow the blue instruction from iMakkie and install Proxifier. u can get it here! (trial version).
2nd. install and run Proxifier. go on option>proxy setting and add new proxy which the ip consist of 127.0.0.1 and 1080 for port.
3rd. again in option>name resolution, disable auto mode and choose Remotely.
4th. well, u all set up! run iphone tunnel suite 2.7, connect itunnel and iconnect. then run proxifier and tick the proxy that u have set up earlier. wallah. iphone modem via usb

sorry for my late reply. was at lowyat till late searching for my iphone case.
crxr! u got pm'ed

wah company pc also using 8600M GT. Mine here only onboard graphics.

US company might. They dun mind since cheap for them.
Last week a new desktop for us as test server, with x1550 also
Just a test server also need a decent gc =..=

looking forward to see the tutorial on iphone as modem. Thanks.

I however, trying to figure out what are the occasions when the "ICS seed Iphone Via wifi" become useful.
??
if you have a laptop, and connected to internet (via cable) , just use the laptop..
unless you don't have a laptop, and no WIFI network. ANd your friend is connected via CABLE, then this become useful.

@setoyo

Hope you don't mind. Found this on the net. Hopefully is helpful.

iModem (Windows Only) Now Lets You Tether Over USB Cable.

Tethering your iPhone for internet use can be a real life-saver when there's no Wi-Fi around, but for those who aren't the most tech-savy, the tinkering with proxy settings and the like can be a little too complicated. Thankfully those times may be coming to a close. Unofficial tethering app iModem has just released an update that lets you tether your iPhone via USB cable.
Previous to this, tethering apps used the iPhone's Wi-Fi capabilities to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot that was connected to the cellular data network. The new iModem is the first tethering app to change this. Instead of messing with settings, you can just connect your iPhone to your laptop through USB cable to share internet.

http://isoftcom.com/?p=products&id=imodem

i know this is like a fat chance but is there any freakign way we can use the iphone as a modem to connect to internet without involving jb?

i mean dude...im paying for a lame wifi broadband and i ain't gonna sign up for 99 unlimeted from maxis. ....>.<

For iphone as a modem will be soon.. Need to test...
The Methodology iphone as a modem:
Internet ---->Iphone3G ---->Tethering (Via Wifi/Cable) ---->Laptop/PC

When ICS seed iphone via wifi become useful?
ppl like me, who dont have a wifi router/ap stuff.
Just got a laptop that have built-in wifi and 3g broadband..
I subscribe unlimited broadband RM98/month and use usb modem to get connected to the internet..
So i want to split my internet connection, so both got the internet access..
Using adhoc methodology give me/us opportunity to share the internet connection..
This method:
USB modem ----> Laptop(built in Wifi) ---(adhoc)---> Iphone3g

Peace...
Im no expert in networking guys, just helping each other...
so helping hand will be appreciate.. TQ

Thanks bro, will hunt it down..

ATM, No yet

Still in searching mode..

Internet ---->Iphone3G ---->Tethering (Via Wifi/Cable) ---->Laptop/PC

any1 tried tis method yet?
best/simplest way to use ur i3g as modem?
any maybe OT but sm wat related maybe...just hear out ya
i have unlimited data plan for my maxis num..using it with my i3g...
i once heard tat thr is a option frm maxis, 2 get another sim for da same num 2 use with another phone...

Added on May 20, 2009, 11:17 amVista ICS is more stable compared to Windows XP. In any case make sure you guys update your Windows OS first, especially Windows XP or else you will get connection but still no internet connection.

After connection, please do a ping from your iphone, if you can ping but can't surf, might be your PC/Laptop firewall blocking port 53 so you might need to configure to allow connections.

This post has been edited by gyver: May 20 2009, 11:17 AM

If still no internet connection..
try 2 disable ur firewall..

guys i guess i will sounds a little bit noob does iphone can use it like modem to surfing by laptop via 3g connection?

i still cant figure it out on my win xp...
can someone with xp and know how to do it help me?
thanks a million...

Sorry I am using Vista but a google search got this. Care to try it first.

http://unlock.i.ph/blogs/unlock/?p=5

thanks a lot for the info...
but i too have do some googling on this adhoc network...
and for the website you gave me, i'm pretty sure that's what i did to the settings...
but yet i still cant online on my iphone once its connected... not sure what's the reason...
but i'll try it again tonight when i reach home as i'll be in my campus library till midnight...
anyway, thanks for the info...^^

---

Added on May 25, 2009, 12:08 pmanother thing i would like to mention is that my laptop does not connects to the modem directly, it connects to a switch and the switch is connected to the modem...
does this have any difference compared to the laptop connects directly to the modem?

and does creating a wep password have anything to do with the ip of my iphone when i connect it to my laptop or its just simply protect your ad-hoc network from being use by unauthorized people?

again, thanks in advance...^^

guys.. i need help here.. the first time i used the ics technique, my iphone works well.. after day, few days after i try to connect but.. i couldnt get internet.. my laptop and the iphone are connected.. but the iphone cannot get thru the internet..
in the setting i noticed a few difference from before..

the router and DNS aldy gone.. do i need to fill in myself?
does any1 know why?

Hi all. Just wanna share my experience. For me, the best tethering apps out there (on jailbreak iphone of course) is PdaNet. It's free for 30 days and u can use ur iphone 3g broadband internet to share with ur laptop.

How to install:
1. Open Cydia, search for PdaNet and hit install.
2. Open PdaNet website http://www.junefabrics.com/desktop/ and install the desktop client.
3. Open PdaNet on ur iPhone, click settings and set PdaNet to connect tru USB cable.
4. Open PdaNet client on ur laptop and click connect.
4. Done! Enjoy ur 3G connection from ur laptop.

*This applies for Windows (XP or Vista x86 and x64)
*U can also use wifi connection if u forgot to bring ur usb cable

I just don't hv time to explain in detail. But if u can use iPhone, meaning that u are somewhat tech savvy and I believe u can sort this out. Just one thing to keep in mind, iPhone OS3.0 support tethering by default (find that in the Settings>Network) and u dont really need any 3rd party software. BUT u may be charged again for tethering usage even though u already subscribed for unlimited 3G (dont know if this really true?). Cheers!

-abejoe-

not to be an ass or anything, but if you already know that os3.0 natively supports tethering, what's the poing of sharing some third-party tool that only works on jb'ed phones?

Coz the official tethering doesn't work for me. Once I pushed the button to "On" suddenly it disappeared. I wonder where it's gone? Secondly, as I said before, u may be charged again for using tethering even if u already subscribed to unlimited 3G.

sifu, i got 2 iphone. but only 1 is sign up for idata. last time i used pdanet to sharing internet with each other. but right now the pdanet is expire n need to buy. is that any other way? thank you.
