iPhone Modem zsrelay was recently put on Cydia for download claiming to be the original iPhone Modem. They simply released a few days later so they were forced to change names. As the first iPhone Modem, it is intended for use on Mac and currently doesn't freely support any other operating system; but what it does do it does rather well.
Set-up was a breeze, open the program and enter the variables and you are done, no problems. I logged in, and there is an advanced page that is supposed to show you the upload and download but it never seemed to register but that was no biggie. I then tried to login to Firefox and Adium to no avail. So I tried changing the SOCKS settings but still got no where. I then decided to search around and found out that the program itself is still in beta and currently only supports Safari OTB. I feel dumb... so I try out Safari and away I go...
After I browsed around for a while I decided to call it quits but after closing the program I couldn't log back into normal wireless. No matter what settings I changed I couldn't get rid of the manual IP setting, even though manual wasn't enabled! I had to restart before the correct settings took effect.
Overall this program is very good but has to get a few kinks out which is to be expected from beta. But the thing I like about the program most is the simple fact that it is FREE versus the fake iPhone Modem that is 9.99 shareware! Just give it a little while to be tested some more and built up then I am sure we will have an excellent tethering program on our hands!
Bug is fixed… thak you for the tip Version 1.8 is online… Don’t forget to Save again the Settings if you update.

i am trying to set up my iphone modem but i cannot get it to work is there something special that i should be doing?
I am having the same problem. Initializes network just fine. The WIFI is selected on the Iphone then the error. It was set up according to the instructions but it keeps sending the same error message: ” No connection to Iphone. Please check the WLAN settings for your Iphone…”
I found that the other iphonemodem has bugs, after i paid, they emailed me they knew there were issues, i asked fro a refund. nothing.
this program, zsrelay iphonemodem, works GREAT. everytime – following instructions.
i will contribute, once email reception also works. internet works fine
Mmm the client app thing no work for me. I had to use pdanet to download zsrelay client to my os x 10.4. I mount the dmg, copy the program to my folder from installer, then I try open but there is nothing, open open nothing nothing.
Who can I contact for this no work
“I am having the same problem. Initializes network just fine. The WIFI is selected on the Iphone then the error. It was set up according to the instructions but it keeps sending the same error message: ” No connection to Iphone. Please check the WLAN settings for your Iphone…””
same deal here – i get the exact same message and I’m killing myself trying to figure this crap out!!!! >_
While initializing iPhoneModem, WiFi on iPhone should be OFF!!! Turn it ON only when asked on Mac screen. Then it works.
You can use Firefox with iPhoneModem zsrelay if you install FF add-on FoxyProxy. Use SOCKS5, 127.0.0.1, port 9999 and enable also “Use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookups”.
Has anyone had any issues with there data package provider? It is against my contract and was wondering if there was any way they can find out.
