I really really want to get tethering to work so that I can have a full computer Internet connection wherever I find myself cut off from WiFi. About half of the time that I would like WiFi to be there, it is not.

I completed a tethering tutorial but I must have done something wrong because I was unsuccessful. I will try again soon and ensure that I set the iPhone autolock to Never so that it doesn't shut off, initiate an EDGE connection through iPhone Safari to the test site first to ensure DNS information is present, and disable IPV6 on the Mac's airport. I have yet to master this skill but I will not give up!

iPhone tethering turns an iPhone's EDGE network connection into a mobile internet access for your MacBook.
