iPhone 4 on 3 uk tethering

[nitros]

I know I can use tethering with my phone because is not allowed from 3 but I check I can do it with my MacBook but if I use a windows pc 3 block me straight away.
Apparently 3 doesn't see if I use on mac is there any way to bypass it for windows pc?

Cheers

Hi mate,

What do you mean 'blocked'? I don't seem to have any issue with my iphone 4 (from 3) tethering to 2 windows based notebooks most evenings... And all bog standard settings, that too.

Just switch it ON and give it 4 secs and its ready to go.

Do you get any error messages or check your firewall (antivirus) and stuff...?

I know I cant teathiring with my contract if I use it with windows is come up a page say that I'm not allowed to used my phone as modem but If I do it on my mac is just fine. So I was wondering If there is a way to bypass it to use I with windows

Tethering has been replaced by "Personal Hotspot" functionality. Just turns your iphone into a mobile router. It's under "settings", "network".

I will try to explain better.
I have a contract with 3 and an add on all u can eat data. Know this doesn't allowed tethering. I have tried with my mac and I worked but if I try with a windows pc, 3 will blocked and say that my contract doesn't allowed tethering.

My question: is there anyway to bypass it and let it work on windows as well?

Thank you

I will try to explain better too. I too am on "3" and have an all you can eat tariff. My iPhone 4 works perfectly with any device that tries to attach through it using the "Personal Hotspot" functionality. You can either connect via wifi or bluetooth. When enabled, the iPhone "routes" the traffic internally to the 3G / GPRS connection. You simply need wifi on the device that you plan to use (show me a device that does not have wifi these days).
