The Word is out: Netshare Sux, iPhone Modem Sux
Our post - Need a reason to jailbreak your iPhone? Here’s ten of them just got shorter!
You need only one reason to jailbreak your iPhone – PDAnet
category: apple image: orange logo .<>
PDAnet provides FULL INTERNET on your computer through the iPhone since it acts as Wifi router.
Let’s get started with configuration and install:
1. Install PDAnet via Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone (use these guides if you need help with jailbreak QuickPwn Mac, Windows, and Pwnage Tool Mac)
2. When you first start PDAnet, you will get the screen that you need to configure your ad-hoc network on your computer and then connect your iPhone to it.
3. Configure your ad-hoc network on your computer
Follow steps 1 and 2 from our Netshare Configuration Guide
We called ours – PdaNet
5. Open PDAnet application
Can we call it the shortest tethering guide ever?
Some configuration benchmarks from our prior experience:
Netshare set-up – 15 minutes (no full Internet access)
iPhone Modem Set-up – 7 minutes (no full Internet access)
PDAnet set-up – 3 minutes (full Internet access)
Note of caution:
You may think that you have unlimited bandwidth from your provider.
Verify your terms of use since if you go over limit you will be paying
extra. So use this connection method only when you have no other
options.

See, I tried this the day it came out without any luck. PdaNet would either not recognize that I was connected to a WiFi network, or it would not recognize that I was connected to my carrier. I could disable Wifi and get the carrier connection to work, or go into airplane mode to get the wifi connection working, but never both as the same time. Any idea what that’s about?
yeah, but you have to scar your iphone with PdaNet’s icon of Internet Explorer. That’s a significant price to pay for Mac users.
Damn it, I thought my jailbreak days are over. I guess not. Here I go!
use it to read “URL TROLL WAS HERE” on tha bus
You’re doing it wrong. You have to get a successful AdHoc network set up. So, you don’t want to disable wifi (but you may need to use the forget this connection option if you’re testing near your router). The software will automatically pull data down through 3G/EDGE/whatev but you have to have wifi on, and try setting the IP to static on your iPhone’s AdHoc connection (use the arrow, and for IP Address, select the Static tab, I didn’t actually change the address). Also, when you get that prompt about making sure to connect on the iPhone in AdHoc mode, try reconnecting again with wifi on your laptop.
It took me a good hour or two to figure this all out. Didn’t help I had to use a secure connection on my work laptop to config the Wifi….
Also, you should have a 169.x.x.x IP address on both the phone and computer.
I got this working yesterday no problem. The speeds were surprisingly high. With edge I got about 178kbps Down and 60 kbps Up. On 3G I got 1200kbps Down! and I think around 160kbps Up.
Nothing special, just regular routing — try doing it through the AppStore and see if Apple lets you. Exactly. NetShare did it without breaking any AppStore rules, but of course they still took it down. Ah well. This isn’t going to make me jailbreak, there isn’t much reason to jailbreak at all anymore.
You can easily apply yourown icon. Since mac users think they’re computer gods this should be no problem. Also, anti jailbeaker man, I don’t quite understand your argument. Are you saying this just isn’t worth it, and neither is jailbreaking in general? It so, you should really try it. Theming the god awful ugly dock of the iPhone is reason enough
Exactly how is this “full Internet”?
can i effectivly use this as a wifi dongle for my laptop on ipod touh?
forgive my ignorance, but what about the internet on the iPhone pre-PDAnet/Jailbreak is not “FULL INTERNET”?
“forgive my ignorance, but what about the internet on the iPhone pre-PDAnet/Jailbreak is not “FULL INTERNET”? ”
You missed the “tethering” part of the headline…full internet tethering..please read..at a minimum the headline..before posting…geez
Reason to Jailbreak the iPhone:
Cycorder
End of argument. Jailbreak for video/audio recording with cycorder, makes it 100% worth the troubles!
Brilliant! I was having real problems tethering a Linux eeepc. This worked straight away. Thank you so much. Reason 1 to jailbreak is cycorder, but this is a pretty close second!
Dude, Jailbreak totally ROCKS. I love it.
Jiff
URL TROLL WAS HERE
Lame.
This is no different than the others. Wake me up when there’s a zero config one that’s really a router.
I’ve tried NetShare, iPhoneModem, and plain old socks via MobileTerminal and this is the best solution I’ve come across so far.
PDANet runs in the background unlike NetShare and iPhoneModem so you can use your phone for other tasks while sharing its internet connection.
It also eliminates the need for proxying whereas the other 3 options forced you to setup a Proxy or use Proxifier.
The only thing it lacks is ability to stop your iPhone from going to continue sharing your internet after the phone locks and goes to sleep so you still have to run Insomnia.
your an asshole jon. You are one of those people….
the ones who would bitch about how free gold was delivered to your door. The app your looking for is call F-u-c-k-o-f-f.
I hope you brick your iphone you dick.
btw it is zero configuration and you are too retarded to read.
@ Choee: Thanks for the worthless response. I read the headline… my question still stands. Thanks to the comments of users with the ability to post worthwhile messages I was able to figure it out. Without jail-breaking the phone you cannot tether. I didn’t realize iPhones could not tether out of the box. I am not an apple fan boy nor do I own an iphone.. sorry I don’t know every detail of every phone on the market. I’ll be sure to study up next time. Ass.
Yup. That’s a pretty good reason. I would do it for that reason.
to all wondering about the “full Internet” it is a router vs a proxy. Google it.
@btw it is zero configuration and you are too retarded to read.
That’s funny, because what I’m reading‚ÄîI must be hallucinating‚Äîis a series of instructions about ad hoc networks. On Windows Mobile phone, which is admittedly a piece of shit and utterly useless compared to my iPhone, I can simply run an app, and BANG, my computer is tethered. I don’t have to do ad hoc networks… it simply shows up as a hotspot, or in the alternative, as a bluetooth network.
Thanks for playing, try again.
please think rationally before voting for a one term senator to be our leader!!<——- POLITICAL TROLL WAS HERE
WTF?! This is about iPhone tethering, not political teething. Go cry somewhere else about gramps bad poll numbers against Obama. One term nat senator, but gramps backup is a 1/2 term governor of northern exposure.
Ok, while plugged into my USB jack on my laptop, the battery meter slowly went DOWN when using PDANet.
So basically you can’t surf the internet for an indefinite amount of time before your iPhone battery dies.
You’ll have to turn off PDANet and then let the Iphone charge again.
I’m wondering if the wall charger provides more power than the USB connector. (1000mah vs 500mah?) @ American, did you get the latest version of PDAnet. They fixed some bugs.
Hi. Is there a netsharing configuration guide for windows?
Unbelievable…
Truly incredible.
Finally… at long last…finally!!!!
If AT&T wanted to they could limit certain types of traffic, say to just email and web, restrict the speed perhaps.. Just enough so people could surf and get email. I would be totally cool with that because I can get work done.
Totally cool. THANKS!!!!!
it’s sooo easy to setup and works like a charm. But alas, it drains so much power it silly.
Good day!
It is very informative and has a very good quality in it.
I like it…

Thank you very much for your time.
Why can’t we just set simple routing (i.e. without NAT or masquerading)?
PDANet ROCKS!!
This worked great. Thanks so much, what a great product…….
I’m ignorant to this kind of stuff, but am interested in learning more. If anyone would be willing to answer some questions for me, I would really appreciate it.

just downloaded this from ICY. worked. they say it take 3 minutes. it was less for me. i am tethered right now and i writing this while it’s all working.
to whoever wrote this article – freakin kudos to you. this is awesome and it was easy as hell
I just upgraded my iPhone3G to 3.0 and successfully jailbroke it. Now PdaNet 1.5 doesn’t work (Tether via USB on vista/xp).
Does anybody know how to reconfigure it? Or should I just figure out how to tether using the 3.0 OS? I paid for PdaNet, so I’d like to use it if possible… Thanks for your time.
The iphone is still missing flash, so its not really the full internet.
Hey what about using a pocket wifi in conjunction with the iphone???
I have no internet free wifi nearby, nor do I have internet (obviously…)
So can I use the pocket wifi thing we have in Japan here and use it and my iphone and pdanet to get free internet on my computer???
wow never mind!
i just jailbroke with spirit, did the pdanet download, set up the peer to peer on my pc,
and I am
now surfing the net!!
incredible!
you are just awesome…see this can be so easy…why buying a 19$ App from cydia…
OMG you are retarded
is it still working???
Guys, before doing this, just check out MyWi, currently sourced from the Cydia home page. Within the app itself, you just switch Tethering either on or off. You can run it in the background & also set the signal strength, so it doesn’t have to sap your battery when your iPhone is sat right next to your computer. The ONLY downside to this little piece of perfection is that it is only a 3 day trial, after than it’s $6.99
fingers crossed though, somebody is sat there trying to hack it
