Previously, we need to set up a complicated Ad Hoc network, and then use SOCKS proxy to share the iPhone 3G connection for the notebook to go online. You need to manually set SOCKS proxy in web browser and other software to let it go online. Using SOCKS proxy, MSN is not supported even it has the SOCKS setting for you to key in.
PdaNet for iPhone has been released through Cydia. It is similar to NetShare or 3proxy, but PdaNet is definitely a better choice. You don’t need to set any SOCKS proxy in computer. You don’t need to modify your system’s preference. The best part is that every program will work probably with the shared connection by PdaNet. It is extremely easy to use.
You only need to create a simple Ad Hoc network between your computer and iPhone. There is no need to modify any further system setting.
Detail steps are:
You need to jailbreak your iPhone 2G/3G first, then install PdaNet from Cydia. Restart iPhone once.
In computer (Windows),
Step 1. Double click the network connection in the task bar.
Step 2. In the Network and sharing center, set up a new connection. Choose wireless adhoc connection as prompted. Follow the steps required.
Step 3. Enter any name you loved to. The computer will now wait for the connection.
In iPhone,
Step 4. In Settings, connect to the network you created in step 3 above.
Step 5. Run PdaNet. Switch it to on (the switch is at the bottom). It will be automatically connected and show the screen above.
Step 6. if it shows it is initialized for the first time. Press the Home key to go back to springboard first. Then, make sure you connected to the network in step 3, run PdaNet and turn on the switch again.
PdaNet works perfectly for Windows and Mac. Everything will work properly. There is no need to setup SOCKS proxy for every single program. MSN, VLC streaming, QuickTime, web browsing with upload and download are all okay.
You can run other program on iPhone. But, you need to keep the screen on because it needs to keep Wi-Fi staying alive.
sounds too goo to be true !!
