I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that worked. I wouldn't have said it was a given that an iPhone personal hotspot would do routing between multiple WiFi devices connected to it. Obviously between the WiFi and the phone, but... Of course the downside of this approach is the iPhone itself switches away from WiFi when you do this, and any data usage *it* does while you are working goes over the phone, potentially costing you money... I once ran up a >$2000 phone bill while roaming in HK because I didn't realise an online broker's app was still running on the phone, streaming prices... Mark
