Now, can anyone point me in the right direction to find a simple MMS fix instruct?
Yes, there are numerous threads, just search and try out all the methods.

There are a lot out there, none of which are "simple" if you are on AT&T. In fact, the best way I have found is to simply wait until AT&T unlocks it for all iPhone users.
How do i enable tethering via USB ona a mac? i checked settings and network, but i don't see an "iPhone" only bluetooth, bluetooth PAN, airport, blah blah.

I've used tethering a fair bit (200MB or so) and didn't see a difference on my bill. That may change if I use it more, but if you only use it occasionally it doesn't seem to attract any unwanted attention.
what extra charges apply or will apply for tethering your Iphone
I was able to tether my iphone but am worried about ATT charging. I have the $30 monthly unlimited data plan and feel that with tethering, I'm getting what I paid for otherwise I'd leave ATT for a better/faster network whenever it becomes available. I did notice that ATT is subtracting $5 per month after the beginning of your contract from the early cancellation fee of $175. all the more reason for ATT to provide this service included in the unlimited data plan.
Please voice your opinions........

I did this on my old 3GS and got it replaced but I went to restore from backup and this update was on the back up...is there anyway to go back to the regular without tethering hack downloaded from this page without doing a full restore? Is there a regular one I can just download and install? No jailbreaking please!
The OP's method worked for me perfectly, over USB and Blueooth. No issues with VVM at all. No MMS (as advertised). It's pretty speedy. Posting this with tethered connection.
Working for me as well, at least via Bluetooth.
Since the OS 3.1 beta is supposed to break tethering, I figured I better get it setup ASAP (and not be in any hurry to update the OS on my iPhone).
Edit: Also working over USB/iPod cable.
3.0.1 + Tethering = ???
Can anyone validate whether tethering continues to work after the OS 3.0.1 update?
(We already know the OS 3.1 beta breaks it...)

I can confirm that it does continue to work when you have the 3.0.1 update, just tried it.
3.0.1 and tethering...
Well it sorta works.
USB cable tethering still works fine on my 3GS with 3.0.1, and Bluetooth [edit] now works after trying a few different things.
I had to unpair them, restart the iPhone and MacBook, then repair them and connect via the Bluetooth prefs pane on my MacBook. Not sure why that did it, but BT tethering is working again. If anyone else is having issues, I'd advise to follow the steps above.
HTH

iPhone tethering
I also have a 12" PowerBook G4, just beautiiful!
Thanx!
Hi, just a question! Does you PowerBook have instaled OS Leopard or Tiger???Because what I know is that Internet sharing (tethering) with iPhone isn't possible with OS 10.4 (Tiger), but maybe I'm wrong.
