it is not stopped it just that Apple changed some properties on the OS in 3.1 that disable the use of this hack in un-jailbroken iPhones. the only way around it for now is to jailbreak it, but in the site help.benm.at (where you download this) says that in this month he will put in the new mobilconfig for 3.1.2 for every iPhone. I recommend that you put help.benm.at in your home screen and check it every day.

I’d love to hear some feedback on whether anyone got busted by at&t….I’m considering switching my AT&T 5gig internet pkg to an iphone instead of my netbook, but want to be able to tether to netbook too…anyone else successful? Some crazy high bill or breech of contract cost is a worry to me!

I cannot get windows network connections to see my iphone on my laptop. Ive plugged into2 diffetent desktops and got it to tether no problem. Any suggestions? My laptop is running windows xp home addition with svc pack3. ive tried re-booting, turning tethering off and on with no success. Any help that anyone can give is appreciated. im still running 3.0 on my iPhone mainly to keep the tethering.

Yeah – same here. Works on 3.0 but doesn’t seem to work on 3.1. Please let us know when new hack is out.

I had previously installed internet tethering and worked great, then I updated to 3.1 and went to tether last night, went to start tethering and the whole option under networks disappeared. Are there any fixes for this issue?

I too recently upgraded to 3.1, and the tethering option is not showing up under the network options…. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong or if 3.1 found and stopped this loophole?

Worked so smoothly, at first I did not realize my netbook was tethered.

Thanks abundantly!

I installed the profile with firmware 3.01, and tethering was flawless.

Unfortunately, I “upgraded” to 3.01 today, and now the tethering no longer works.

Do you have any advice?

thanks,

I got that at first also but I went back and then into network again and it showed up. Works great with bluetooth and USB. BTW, I did this on my T-Mobile Germany phone.

Works fine with 3.01. Sounds like it’s 3.1 we need to be concerned about.

I have correctly installed the right profile for my iPhone. I live in the UK and am with O2 so used O2 Vertigo config. The iPhone seems to be working correctly and I have turned Internet tethering on. However, on my windows xp laptop when I plug my iPhone in all that comes up is about getting the photos from my iPhone. Nothing about using the Internet through it or it being an Ethernet device?!

Any help would be gladly appreciated!

I was wondering the same thing but haven’t had time to do the research on it. I know the next software update, the next big one that is, will disable the tethering. Hopefully they’ll launch something official at that point, though.
