During this process, pay attention to the 'Customize your firmware" section - you'll want to make sure you check "Add Cydia" to your firmware, as that's where PdaNet lives.Ĭongratulations! You've installed PdaNet! Step Four: Set up an AdHoc WiFi NetworkĪlthough PdaNet is a full-on WiFi router, it doesn't actually set up a WiFi network that your computer can just join. Jeremy has supplied us with easy-to-follow instructions that will guide you through the entire process. This might be the most intimidating part of the entire process, but fret not. If that doesn't worry you, read on for a full how to on getting PdaNet setup to tether to your Laptop! Step One: JailBreak your iPhone Most people simply ignore this and go ahead and tether anyway - being careful not to overdo it to prevent AT&T from hitting them with extra fees or even a cancellation. The Terms of Service on the standard AT&T iPhone contract and also on their standard Data Plans do not allow you to tether. There is one major caveat you need to be aware of with PdaNet, however. Although you'd take a big old hit on speed, you could theoretically share your internet connection with several computers.Unlike NetShare, PdaNet is not a 'SOCKS proxy,' so you can use any internet protocol (like iChat or AIM) and not have to worry about whether or not it will work. Since the iPhone becomes a simple WiFi router, there are no blocked ports.It's dead-simple to set up, as it doesn't require any weird software or modem configuration on your laptop. ![]()
