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 on Whirlpool - so even if Telstra is slow off the mark, it isn't because it can't be done.

Re: Telstra NextG tethering does work already
Hi Sue I don't know if you are saying that the message to contact Telstra was seen only when you attempted to connect with Bluetooth; I didn't bother to try Bluetooth, only USB. I only played with it briefly. 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 SettingsGeneralNetwork 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! mousepeter meyer 0408 902349 pmo...@people.net.au On 19/06/2009, at 7:31 AM, Susan Hastings wrote: I tried this one, hoping it might make Bluetooth work.
