Can someone help me to get it to work with my laptop. (works fine with BT with IPad)
- Connect phone through USB to Laptop
- Blue internet tethering screen pops right up on the phone.
Now what do I do?
When I click on open network preferences, I see Iphone USB. The status says "connected", but then it says "iphone USB has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
Need help ...
thanks

Just making sure...
So it seems that if I want to tether my iPad to my iPhone both need to be JB, correct?
Is there anyway to keep the iPad unJB and tether it to my JB iPhone? I have purchased tetherme but it seems like I may have wasted my $1.99.
Thank you!

MyWi on your iPhone will work the way you want it to. Only the phone needs to be jbken, not the iPad
If you're talking about itether, jb your ipad/ipod touch and purchase off cydia.
BTW, if you had bothered reading this thread, you would know this.

Are these the correct steps in order to share my iPhone's internet to my iPad WiFi
1) I've jailbroken my iPhone 4.
2) Download iTether from Cydia on my iPhone
3) Download iTether from Cydia on my iPad
4) Play!
Correct, or is it not necessary to download iTether on my iPad?

False.
You need iTether on your iPad. You do not need it on your iPhone. You would either need to manually hack your iPhone to enable tethering or download "TetherMe" in Cydia. Read post 17 again
Ok, this is what I'm looking for. So, I can use iTether on my JB iPhone and tether it to my macbook using USB? You mean any USB drive?

I would have gotten a refurbed ipad, and saved even more.

Congrats
Although, the GPS function on 3g alone is worth £100 for me...
Yes, I did this yesterday and it works great. Easy to use. Highly recommended for an easy WiFi tether from iPhone 4 to iPad, and it will create a hotspot you can use with your laptop, desktop, etc. Also supports USB connection (not for iPad obviously) if WiFi not an option.
For the records PDAnet doesn't create a Hotspot (even when they call it that way), it is just a single ad-hoc connection
The newest version of PDANet now supports an access point just like MyWi. I use neither because they both eat up battery compared to iTether and tetherMe.
Ahh Thanks for the tip!
iTether on the Ipad and TetherMe on my iPhone.
I don't feel bad since I'm paying $160 for two iphones to AT&T each month. They are still making tons of money.
