If you’ve been looking for instructions on how to tether your iPhone to your laptop – look no further.  The instructions below are quite long, but you’ll be happy once it’s over and you’ve got your iPhone’s data connection on your laptop (NOTE: will only work with Leopard running laptops for now – sorry). “WHAT YOU WILL NEED 1.
Click the “Settings…” button in the “Connection” section. Select “Manual proxy configuration”. For SOCKS host, use 192. 168. 0. 2 Port 1080 SSH: Use the -L flag in SSH to port forward any ports to the iPhone, and then from the iPhone to your destination machine. This will allow you to tunnel your IMAP/POP mail and whatnot.
