What do you do when you are in Ajstrup in a summer cottage without internet broadband?
Well. If you do not need to get on the internet you just enjoy your holiday. But on the other hand if you just are an internet freak and cannot do without internet and owe an iPhone here goes the solution to get on the internet through your iPhone (without an broadband connection), with a new feature named "tethering". Tethering means that you can get a computer on the internet via network connection on iPhones.
-
In Settings, choose General > Network > Internet Tethering.
-
Slide the Internet Tethering switch to On.
-
Connect iPhone to your computer:
-
USB: Connect your computer to iPhone using the Dock Connector to USB cable. In your computer’s Network services settings, choose iPhone.
On a Mac, a pop-up window appears the first time you connect, saying “A new network interface has been detected.” Click Network Preferences, configure the network settings for iPhone, then click Apply. On a PC, use the Network Control Panel to select and configure the iPhone connection.
-
Bluetooth: On iPhone, choose Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Then refer to the documentation that came with your computer system software to pair and connect iPhone with your computer.
-
When you are connected, a blue band appears at the top of the screen. Tethering remains on when you connect with USB, even when you aren’t actively using the Internet connection.
