Anyone get iPhone tethering to work

[adseguy]

Now, I'm not an idiot with computers. I work with them every day almost doing IT work, but I just can't seem to figure out how the SOCKS server on the iPhone is working.

It seems that most people get to the point where they have the ad-hock network setup and can ping the iPhone, but no further. The next logical step would be to set the internet browser to look at a proxy server (the SOCKS server v4) at whatever IP you set the iPhone at. Is the port still 1080? I did that in both firefox and IE to no avail.

Some help or a link is appreciated.

Same here... I get to the point where my computer recognizes the ah-hoc and connects to it... but cannot manipulate the browser into using that connection for internet...

So no one has done this?



I kinda woulda like it since I work off site for work and safari doesn't cut it for IE only browsers

Stupido here... What is tethering? Is it using your iPhone as a modem or something?

 

[adseguy]

Correct. Currently there is no real way to do it so some have found a way to install a socks proxy server on the iPhone and through wifi your computer can connect to the iPhone to access the Internet through edge

I guess I'll try one last time considering this was a busy weekend for most.

BUMP!

What's strange is that MOST people are stuck in the same area. It points to me that we are all missing one step, or overlooking something simple. Let me know your thoughts.
