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.

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.
*
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..

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.
*
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... icon_rolleyes.gif
Im no expert in networking guys, just helping each other...
so helping hand will be appreciate.. TQ notworthy.gif

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.
