As far as I can tell...AT&T can't tell the difference between the devices being used...so you shouldn't be charged anything extra for this.

@Muncle

are you in a Mac or XP environment?

I'm using Mac OS X.

But to update that last post...I updated the iPhone to 1.1 (of course, having to restore everything) and I haven't re-installed the tethering files.

How do i able to use iphone to use on my MacBook Pro? I am not programming. Can anyone explain to me easy way.

When I get to the step where I have to use "netsh" I type "netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Conenction" static 10.3.3.1 255.255.255.0" and I get this error all the time "The required operation requires evaluation"

Does anyone else have the same problem? All the other steps before this one I did correctly and haven't had any other problem but untill I get here.

I'm using MacBook with Windows Vista Ultimate on bootcamp

Really neat, but way too complicated for what it's worth.

i seem to be having the same problem as qryptiq... my iphone and computer are connected ok, and i'm fairly certain i have set all of the proxy and ip/port settings correctly, but Firefox is telling me this:

"The proxy server is refusing connections

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections."

obviously, all settings are NOT correct, or it would be working...


Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can Tethering be done without wireless connection. Can it be done connected with data cable. I want this as i'm not having Wifi in my office.

[acosmichippo]

no, you can't do it through the data cable.

for clarity:
you don't need an existing wifi network... you only need wireless capability on the computer with which you want to connect to the internet.

My understanding is that ATT can tell if you are using your phone as a tethered device. This has been discussed on many other forums for other ATT data phones.

Also, use of any ATT phone as a tethered device absolutely is prohibited by the terms of service. Of course if you have hacked the iphone, then you most likely do care about the ATT terms of service.
