Many of us have used the iPhone Modem, or iPhone Modem zsrelay, or even tried to tether the iPhone by online tutorials. Even though all, or some, of these programs work very well none of them are as easy or as close to the ICS we all know and love. For example, I used to have the HTC Hermes that used WM5 and it had ICS and all I had to do is connect the phone and away I went and this program is no different.
When tethering your iPhone most users think of using the SOCKS proxy because that is what each of these applications utilize but PDA Net seems to just act as router without any special strings attached. I am not the guru of networking by any means, which is one of the reasons I am keen to this program, but I like to believe this program acts in a different manner. The program is fairly simple, you create an ad-hoc network, connect your computer and iPhone, then turn on the router and you are done… I was online in a matter of 30 seconds with absolutely no hassles at all! This program seems easy enough anyone can use it, and that’s the way it should be.
Looking forward to the download.
Installed and got it to connect to my laptop assigned IP of 192.168.101.151 (sound right to you guys?) but unable to surf.
You shouldn’t have to assign any IP… you just create an ad-hoc network and connect both devices. The IP will be assigned for you…
It works just fine at decent speeds over 3g. Only problem is, if I am downloading a large file (100 MB), the iphone pretty much dies…resets itself at about 50%. Any idea how to fix this?
thats a memory leak on PDANet
it works good and the memory leak was fixed with an update. Use any program, not just socks stuff, this was easy. Insomnia built in now too. I use tmobile with the unlimited data plan, they don’t care if you tether. In fact they will give you directions how to tether with other phones ( their tech support taught me how to do It on my motorola) so no worries about getting cut off. ![]()
its allright
