Upgrade your OS to 3.0 and it supports tethering.

i have updated it but i cant seem to find out how to get the laptop use the interent from iphone, any pointers much appreciated

You need to get O2 to turn it on (at normal high mobile broadband rates it seems), then go into Settings>general>network>Internet tethering to set it up.

I don't think tethering is on PAYG. The access point for cellular data should be like this for it to work:

APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: Vertigo
Password: password

Cheers.

Knowing internet geeks, I would guess that there may be a technical workaround if you look hard enough. Try Googling "iphone jailbreak":

JailBreak iPhone, JailBreak iPhone 3G, Jailbreak iPhone 3G S

i really didnt want to jailbreak tbh, i would rather buy the mobile broadband for the laptop if it comes to it i suppose.

Oh dear, that was an epic fail, I'll have to reply a bit more so that my sig comes up, obviously I was referring to my mobile broadband site!

try pointing Safari on your iPhone to help.benm.at and load up the o2 Mobileconfig. It'll unlock tethering for you. Officially you're supposed to pay 15 quid a month for 3Gb.
It works a treat with my iPhone 3GS/macbook over bluetooth.

i have the P&G iphone 3g, not the S version.

So if you've got PAYG iphone 3GS and do the above it'll save you paying 15+ a month?.. Nice

just tried it on i have the P&G iphone 3g, and dosnt work for me

I'm using a 3GS PAYG on my old 3G contract SIM. I know PAYG SIM users have to use a different APN from mobile.o2.co.uk, that may be why it's not working?

Have you updated to V3.0? This may be why it isn't working...
