iPhone WiFi tether via infrastructure mode

[greenparadise]

Okay so here's the deal. I have an iPhone 3g running OS 3.0, jailbroken. I can tether to my laptop no problem via USB or Ad-Hoc. What I want to do is tether my Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet (non-android edition) to my iPhone, but Ad-Hoc WiFi connections are disabled on the Archos, and I have yet to find a way to WiFi tether via infrastructure mode. Please help!!! Thank you.

not possible

My corporate laptop has ad-hoc disabled, and can't connect to it via MyWi.

Sometimes on things like the archos, ad-hoc may work but it is not possible to create a network yourself.

So if you are using PDAnet and it wont work, try MyWi.

If that doesn't work you're boned. Good luck!

Yeah I tried both PDAnet and MyWi, neither work. I need an alternative to ad-hoc because the Archos 5 won't even SEE those networks, although it can see normal networks in infrastructure mode.

Same problem here trying to tether my Nexus One to my 3GS.

there is no other alternative, you're basically SOL on getting it to see the iPhone

Well I was able to tether my iPhone to the laptop the use the laptop as the access point using Connectify. But I have yet to find a direct way to tether the phone and the Archos without the laptop as the go-between :"(
