Re: Telstra NextG tethering does work already

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Peter, I did actually eventually get it set up by briefly turning  
on data roaming, then setting it up, then when I turned off data  
roaming, it stayed on.


I haven't found that syncing with iTunes switches it off - so far.

cheers, Susan.

I don't know if you are saying that the message to contact Telstra

The one cautionary message I received was that mentioned on the  
andrew.harrison.org page about not being authenticated. He says this  
means he's not a mobile phone carrier. That sounded plausible ;)


An ethernet connection was established. I did have to renew the DHCP  
lease for it to work and quit tethering via Settings>General>Network  
again. There may be another, more obvious way of removing the  
'Internet Tethering" bar from the phone's screen …
And, of course I previously had to disable the automatic syncing in  
the iTunes preferences!

Re: Telstra NextG tethering does work already

[Susan Hastings]

Hi, I had a look at the site in Shay's email, and the instructions  
describe the process I followed, except mine was for Telstra. I  
already had MMS working, installing the config file allowed for the  
tethering (although I didn't get bluetooth tethering working, despite  
having followed the steps.

Telstra NextG tethering does work already

Hi, I have been able to get tethering working for Telstra NextG with  
the aid of a little config file downloaded from the discussion forum
