IPhone Internet tethering and MSN

I can use internet tethering fine, everything works well except MSN messenger. I can connect, chat etc... with it but only in "Offline" status. When I try to change my status to "Online" It will sign me off. This only happens when I'm connected using my iPhone as a tethered modem.
Any suggestions?

I am having same issue. I can actually connect my Mac (running 10.6.5 and connecting via Cisco client) to the company VPN through my tethered BlueTooth connection (getting the same 172.20... you get). But once on the network I can't do anything. Can't ping. Can't ARD into a box. It's like the IP address the VPN router issues back isn't being seen at the Mac OS level. It's like the 172.20... router just doesn't understand how to jump over to the other network. I guess the Cisco Client isn't properly tunneling through. We even tried pinging backwards from the network to the IP address the Cisco router assigned back to the Mac.

IPhone OS 3.0 - internet tethering and Cisco VPN Client

Hello,
The latest OS for the iPhone allows users to tether their iPhone to a Mac/PC so that the user can browse the internet through the carriers mobile 3G network.
I can confirm that internet tethering works on my Macbook Pro, but the following error is displayed when i load the CiscoVPN Client (version 4.9.01 (0100))
"Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem.
Please make sure that you have at least one network interface that is cuurently active and has an ip address and start this application again."
Does this mean that the Cisco VPN client cannot see the internet connection supplied by the iPhone even though i can browse the internet while this error is being displayed??
Regards,
Eddie S

Same problem here and I'm wondering the same. I also noticed that the same error comes also when my ethernet connection and iPhone tethering are active at the same time. Then there really should be a connection.
Despite that, I have the same problem and using bluetooth tethering doesn't solve this. Still the same error even though Internet connection works otherwise fine.
Any suggestions? Have Cisco tested this?
I'm using MacBook Pro 13" OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3GS 3.0.1 with official finnish carrier Sonera, Cisco Systems VPN Client 4.9.01 (0100)

Windows 7 and iPhone internet tethering

Hi guys,
I was using the exact same hardware (notebook) and same USB cable and iPhone in the past that the Internet Tethering was working perfectly when in WinXP Pro.
However, recently I re-format my PC to Windows 7. But the problem is now the Internet Tethering somehow is not working.
Symptoms:
My iPhone is connected to the PC, can sync Outlook mail, contacts, calendars etc. When I turned on the Internet Tethering, the mobile shows that it is connected with BLUE bar at the top of the screen. But in my notebook, it doesn't show that it is connected to any devices, nor any NIC there. Finally I confirmed that no IP address obtained.
Is there anything I mis-configured? or this is no way to do this?
Thanks a lot
Tim

The question is answered by my own.
Turn on the Internet Tethering on iPhone. Plug it into the Win7 machine. Let it finished synchronizing. Turn on the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections. Check for the device - Apple Mobile Device Ethernet by right click and Diagnose it.
After the diagnosis, there was problem found, and I let the Win7 fixed by itself. Then, Win7 can get the IP from the iPhone and do browsing through the PC.

Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.

Iphone 2gb + tethering and ipad

i'm not really good with this technology stuff. i see that when you order and iphone which i plan on doing in a couple months, it says that you can get a data plan of 2gb plus tethering. so you can use it to connect to the internet on ur laptop etc etc. now can you get a wifi ipad and use your cell to tether in and get an internet connection on it when ur not in wifi places? or is that not how it works. thank you for all your help.

Per the following AT&T web page/FAQ tethering is now available for the iPhone via an additional monthly charge and a cap on monthly data usage.

This is what it says if the links do not come out right:
"DataPro
Our DataPro plan is $25 per month and includes 2 GB of data (the equivalent of downloading 1,000 sixty-second YouTube videos every month). This plan is designed for our customers who regularly download or stream music and video, or use other high bandwidth applications. Additionally, smartphone customers who choose DataPro will have the option to add tethering for $20 per month. This is available to iPhone customers as well.

Unlocked iPhone 3GS, Tethering and Carrier Updates.

I originally purchased my iPhone 3GS on pay as you go locked to O2, but i got it unlocked through O2, i now use it on a variety of carriers in several countries and would like to tether it. My iPhone is currently on iOS4 and there is no option to tether. None of the carriers i use specifically support the iPhone but do allow you to tether and use data on their respective pay as you go sims.
Also whenever i connect my phone to iTunes it tries to update my carrier settings to the O2 ones which then change the APN and break the internet and MMS on my phone. Is there a way to stop this other then repeatedly selecting no?

So the last part of setting it up as a new device is done by plugging it into my computer, itunes etc...?
Just thought my mate might be pulling a fast one, ha! Ive never owed anything apple so am new to it all.
I will enjoy it im sure, I tried to get his new 4S but he wasnt having any of it lol!
Anyways, cheers.

Ios6 & iPhone 4 tethering and bluetoothproblems

Updated MacBook Pro and now iPhone 4 won't tether or Bluetooth. Tried resetting phone and updating iTunes but no results. Also tried a friends iPhone with same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Tinkered with all settings I could find

Are you on cellular or wifi? If you're on wifi, try opening Safari to see if you have internet access. There have been lots of problems reported with that, so it may not be a real email problem at all.

Iphone 3G, Tethering, and IBM

So I was ecstatic about the new 3.0 features for the iPhone but the thing that really caught my eye was the ability to tether. I was thinking "hey, I can finally take road trips with my buddies while still working". So i get the update and tether successfully... I then go to connect to my vpn server which is over ipsec through AT&T Dialer and it gets stuck at Authentication... So now I have no idea what to do.

Sorry this is not a BT product I suggest you try the Apple Forum

Connected to internet - IE and Firefox wont work

I am connected to the internet, Safari and MSN work. When I try to get on FireFox or IE it says my connection is being interrupted. I had just downloaded Microsoft Office, and the problems started after that.
I checked my firewall to see if that was the problem, but it is not even enabled.
Any suggestions on what is blocking these two programs?

Hello daroberts02!
I just want to remind everyone to either purchase Microsoft Office software in the box or download from Microsoft.com. Downloading from any other source puts your system at grave risk for malware infection and is likely non-licensed or pirated software.
daroberts02, if you are using Microsoft XP or Vista operating system (OS) you can try using Windows System Restore if enabled on your computer (Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore) to perform a system roll back before your download. Otherwise, if you would like convenient options for a resolution, call 1-800-GEEKSQUAD, chat with an Agent on GeekSquad.com or locate a Geek Squad® Precinct near you. Let us know how we can be helpful!

Having trouble with connecting my iphone and macbook air using bluetooth for internet tethering

Hi,
I am facing an issue connecting my iPhone5 to my Macbook Air using bluetooth primarily for internet tethering - personal hotspot.
Every time I try to pair my iPhone with the Macbook Air, I get the error on the iPhone that 'the device that I am trying to connect is not supported'.
Can anyone provide assistance to me on resolving this issue.
Thankyou,
Ashwani

You can't resolve it using bluetooth because it is not a feature you can use here are the supported files for bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
YOu will have to contact your carrier and enable personal hotspot as suggested by questionaire.

Using iPhone 3GS Internet Tethering

Before I change my data plan I want to be sure this works....I have purchased a Acer Iconia A500 Tablet and was wondering if using Internet Tethering on my iPhone 3GS will work. The Acer support site says you can use a smartphone if it is capable of creating a wireless hotspot.

Yes.

How do I stop my iPhone 3 from tethering? Everything I read says to go to Settings General Network but the Internet Tethering is always searching. I've been advised to wait but it's going on 2 hours so I think I've met my "waiting" quota. HELP!!

Same with Bluetooth, as long as you're looking at the screen, it will be searching. As soon as you exit the screen it stops, so quit looking at that screen. You know your refrigerator light? You open the door and it's on...trust me, close the door & the light goes off .

Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through my iPhone 3GS?

Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through my iPhone 3GS? My provider O2 assures me I can with the tariff I have for my iPhone. If so, how do I do it???
Thanks!

Nope. Tethering isn't an option until iPhone 4. My wife has the 3GS and not an option. Sorry. you need to update your phone, but wait a few months for the iPhone 5 or discounted iPhone 4S.
