for those of you who have felt like you missed the netshare train, and wish that you had downloaded and installed it and all that while you still could, no worries... there is still hope...

i have the iphone 3g with the 2.0.1 firmware, and i have jailbroken the phone (which, mind you, with the 2x firmware and new pwnagetool, you can install both jailbreak apps and regular app store apps once the phone is jailbroken)

so, to get netshare on your 3g without the apple app store, first, your phone must be jailbroken.

next, you gotta download this netshare.app -- it is rar'd which is like a zip, so unrar the file you're about to download so that you have "NetShare.app" folder sitting somewhere

http://rapidshare.com/files/134307531/NetShare.app.rar

after you download and unrar that, all you gotta do, is first get your iphone connected to the same WIFI network -- so get your iphone AND computer connected to the same WIFI network, so that your phone has an internal ip address such as 10.0.2.8 or 192.168.0.188 or what have you...

next you must determine what the internal IP address of your phone is, which you can find by going to settings > wifi > and then clicking the blue > to the right of the WIFI network you are connected to, which will say the IP address right there as the top line

now! ALL you have to do, seriously, i didnt think it would be this easy

but all you gotta do is... use an FTP client and connect to your phone at the internal IP address that you have located thru settings > wifi > more info

note, that when you connect via FTP to your phone, that you -MUST- use the SFTP protocol (Secure FTP) which requires the use of the "root" login -- not all FTP clients are capable of running SFTP protocol, which uses port 22 and the root username and password... if you do not have an FTP program that has the SFTP protocol, then you must find one first... in WinSCP for windows and Transmit for mac.

ftp to your phone:

server: the internal IP you determined thru settings > wifi > more info
user: root
pass: alpine

the default password for your phones root account is alpine -- if that doesnt work, which it should, there was another root password that i cant recall but you can find it somewhere

anyway... once you are connected to your iPhone using the SFTP protocol and root username/password -- all you have to do -- is navigate to /Applications -- which will show you all the applications that are installed, in folder form.

literally all you have to do at this point is upload the NetShare.app unrar'd application folder to the /Applications folder of your phone via SFTP. once you have done this and the transfer has been successful, restart your phone, and walla.... NetShare has been installed on a iphone 3g jailbroken 2.0.1 firmware.... and it works, i can verify it


this is kinda a rush guide, but ill try write up a more proper guide sometime soon


my last post that had more information and links (i removed some stuff that is irrelevant):

NetShare & Skype

Safari, Adium work just fine with the original instructions, but NO Skype. Changing the port setting in Skype>Preferences>Advanced to 1080 does nothing for me. Any suggestions? iPhone is not "opened".

Does this mean, netshare doesnt work with edge? only with 3g switched on?

No, either EDGE or 3G works fine. I think what he meant to say was that it can't show a WiFi icon. If it does it's not attempting to connect through the EDGE/3G. If you get your connect between devices you can open Safari and wait for it to time out trying to make a connection. When it does it will switch to using EDGE/3G to fetch the page. The icon will change and then you can start Netshare. This one got me for a while until I found a reference to it early in this thread.

Kobefan you might want to check if you have 255.255.255.0 in your subnet mask in system prefs. If so you must have it in your static setting on your iPhone. Your System Prefs IP address is 192.168.10.2?

I thought someone mentioned they can't go to the iTunes store, but I can navigate thru it quite well with Netshare. If I heard wrong then sorry.

EDIT: Looks like it was 3Proxy/Terminal; I can't get into the iTunes store with them.

I, finally, got Netshare working. Not really sure what I did. I have tried for almost a month. It may have been a typo or the fact that I added a password to the ad hoc network. Anyway, it was cool and fast. Downside was no email, unless I went up online and the phone kept going to sleep. I will try to change that with the lock time out:)

Mail.app is Buggy you must use IP-Adresses instead of QDN like pop.provider.com or you put the name and the ip in /etc/hosts. Mail.app cant resolve Names over Socks Proxy thats all.

For Camino and FF it is the same but here you can setup that with (in Adress field)

about:config

and search for Socks. Enable Socks5 and Name Resolution over Socks Proxy thats all... we hope that Skype have in the next Version also Proxy Support build in. bevor that i fugure out a solution for Skype.

Ciao Marco

Ps: Here more is in german but with many Screenshots

If we can put this in the Germab Appstore: Yes. If not then You need a Jailbroken iPhone to install that.

Is there another program besides Proxifier that'll work with Netshare on the Mac? Seems like there are plenty of SOCKS proxy apps on Windows side but very few for Mac environment.

(First, I want to apologise for my lacks of skill with English. I'll try to be as clear as I'll be able to.)

I set-up the right IP of my wireless network & iPhone (192.168.10.2, sbw : 255.255.255.0 for the computer, and 192.168.10.1 / 255.255.255.0 in Static mode for the iPhone), then I start Porxyfier, and set-up the settings of the proxy with : 192.168.10.1, port : 1080, SOCK5.
Finally I start NetShare on my iPhone, wich reads : 192.168.10.1, port 1080, Connections 0, In/Out : 0; but I think that's normal (no trafic atm). I switch to my computer, I launch Firefox/Safari, no one works, & I don't know why! (I'm not used to set-up manual proxies, but there is what à I have tried : in the Firefox settings -> Advanced -> Connection, here I chose manual proxy, then I fill in the blanck "Host SOCKS" with 192.168.10.1, and port 1080, that's all what I was able to do, and I don't know if the problem comes from Firefox's settings. I didn't try with Safaries settings.)

I have tried with Vista, and XP, I've got the same problem with both.

Thanks for helping!

UPDATE :
I made a "Check Proxy" with Proxifier :

[42:22] Testing Started.
Proxy Server
Address: 192.168.10.1:1080
Protocol: SOCKS 5
Authentication: NO

[42:22] Starting: Test 1: Connection to the Proxy Server
[42:22] IP Address: 192.168.10.1
[42:23] Connection established
[42:23] Test passed.
[42:23] Starting: Test 2: Connection through the Proxy Server
[42:23] Authentication was successful.
[42:23] Connection to http://www.google.com:80 established through the proxy server.
[42:24] A default web page was successfuly loaded.
[42:24] Test passed.
[42:24] Starting: Test 3: Proxy Server latency
[42:24] Latency = 3 ms
[42:24] Test passed.
[42:24] Testing Finished.

So, the proxy works...
I tried with a DNS, an OpenDNS (=208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220), and nothing changed.

under network proxies tab highlight the socks proxy and delete the line of stuff in the box at the bottom, bypass proxy settings box, and make sure in firefox that line is also gone in no proxy for box.

Thank you for the walkthrough. I was lucky to get this the day it was out and have anticipated using it. I finally got a Macbook and used this walkthrough to tether. Thanks again. Made setting it up super easy.

with Airport Express

Has anyone tried sharing the tethered connection over an Airport Express? I am thinking that if I get my laptop tethered to my phone with netshare, that I can then use Internet Sharing to to share the connection thru the ethernet port. If I connect the ethernet to my Airport Express, will this work?

I have it, but it's so complicated getting it set up. Right now it's not and need to figure out how again. With 3.0 on the horizon, I'm sure NetShare will be useless then.
