Here is a quick tutorial on how to use this small litle cute application (PDAnet), which i found today which has enabled me to use my iphone as a router to surf internet in emergency (using the airtel edge connection).

Its very simple and you can start in 5 minutes, have tried lots of other stuff available on the internet nothing has worked for me for last one year. This one is rocking :).

This only works for jailbroken iPhone 2.2



PDA Net is available for jailbroken iPhones through Cydia. The PDA Net application is included in the default Cydia application repository sources, so a simple search for “PDA” should find you the PDA Net app.

Once found, simply install the “PDA Net” application and behold the power of your iPhone 3G as portable WiFi router.
