I get to NetSketch and there is NO NetShare....Where is it?

JEmlay

There's very little information on this app - does it connect to PC via Bluetooth? Does it work with XP/Vista? Anyone actually get it to work?

weatherman

If you can't find it by searching just click on the link that Gizmodo helpfully included at the end of the article!

IphtashuFitz

i searched for, found, purchased and instaled NetShare through the App Store ON my 1st-gen iPhone with zero problems. :)

TonyRockyHorror

Downloads and starts up fine for me.

I LOL'ed in real life.

TheSonOfKrypton

That error appears to be fixed - maybe too many peeps trying to get the app at once?

rb1971

You can also go to this page on Safari on the iPhone and hit the link to the App Store at the bottom of the article - it takes you to the NetShare page.

But I keep getting an "authorization failed" error when trying to download and install.

rb1971

I'm not even showing it in the all apps list. :|

ocha

i cant seem to find this at all!

coolfelix

You can't search for it. Just go to all apps, sort by name, and it's there for $9.99

ScrewzLuse

Maybe it has something to do with my jailbroken phone, but the app just crashes.

bigtimes

ok - got a copy - now to see how it works...

MINI Driver

Don't you just love dictatorships :)

Maybe it's a bit more of a deity relationship, the entire iPhone universe exists because Jobs wills it to be so.

"Was it approved, then unapproved, then approved again?"

Ummm...Yeah, pretty much.

Apple: This violates our deal with AT&T we have to shut you down.

Developer: No it doesn't.

Apple: You're right.

Developer: (Slide money under the table)

Apple: This is not enough.

Developer: This is all I have.

Apple: You owe us...

Apple: Turn the app back on guys!!!

TheGeektoriousBIG

Oh, guess it just wasn't being indexed in search. The app-launching link worked just fine...yay!

niemassacre

I searched too and couldn't find it

iananthony

I can't find it searching through the store on either my computer or my iPhone. Sure it's back up?

niemassacre

Bestil my beating heart.

It travelled through time. 13 hours into the future.

Silly question.

doobiebros2two

@justinpe: That's the price they quoted on the card I got. I think it mentioned getting a second line as well. I couldn't figure out all the legalese in the time I spent reading it.

propertius

@dezco: If someone out there has instructions on how to set this up for PC I am all ears.

Crashdown514

@talkingsandwich: "this brings up a good point. Should we have a LOLRL ?"

Hey man, I'm down..........

TheSonOfKrypton

This is sweet. Isn't ATT's tethering plan like $60 a month?

justinpe

I just got a card from AT&T with my wireless bill inviting me to get a laptop data card and data plan from them.

No, I don't think channelling data through the phone is what they had in mind in the iPhone data plan.

propertius

Um... downloaded it but there are ZERO instructions on how to set this up on a PC. I don't own a damn Mac. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Wrynocerous

My big question is does this go against the user agreement I signed with AT&T? Has anyone heard one way or the other?

IrritatedJones

You newbs be acting crazy. Go to your COMPUTER not phone, open iTunes Store, the type Net Share. Downloaded it last night and it works perfectly, a little slow but beggars can't be choosers.

If only I could get 1Password to work flawlessly:/

mplsboywonder

@TheSonOfKrypton: this brings up a good point. Should we have a LOLRL ?

talkingsandwich

@dezco:agreed

Crashdown514

GEEZ... No love for the PC users... instructions plz?

dezco

Very nice. 3G users will get to best use out of this. Well cheaper than buying a express evdo card and plan.

Ken_Darrow

I got it, too, via my iPhone's App Store. I had the page open in the App Store from the last time I tried to download it.

silomunke

Haha, best marketing gimick ever! Get the app pulled so that when it comes back everyone thinks it might be their only chance to buy it.

Z.

Zoot

Got it to work - EDGE is pretty slow (~205 kbps downstream), I hope 3G does better. There's a good how-to article linked from Macrumors, though I didn't get mine to work until I made a separate location for NetShare with only AirPort for network connections.

niemassacre

anyone, hello..... little help here

Crashdown514

i just posted this from my macbook pro through netshare, it works perfectly.

adamgamble

@justinpe: I doubt they'd be too enthusiastic. They'd much rather sell you a separate wireless data plan.

propertius

@propertius:

So it seems this app will save you $30 a month. I wonder what ATT thinks of this?

justinpe

Hey does anyone know the data cap for the Edge (1st gen) unlimited plan?

ALT

@philesaid: SWEET! Thanks philesaid. Very much appreciated. I'll check it out and hopefully get it up and running.

dezco

iTunes says Windows configuration instructions are "forthcoming".

They have their own web site: [www.nullriver.com.] Theirs an interesting announcement there re the tethering issue.

propertius

I'm sorry I meant, "... someone here has the answers to the WINDOWS 'way'."

philesaid

someone*

philesaid

Hey guys looks like some here has some answers to WINDOWs

[forums.macrumors.com]

philesaid

It's worth 9.95 as long as ATT&T doesn't charge extra for the tethering. Sprint used to charge 25 a month extra for tethering with the palm phone.

lemonsaab

It's back on the apps store, but it's not without limits. It doesn't load java or applets.

lemonsaab

"Hey does anyone know the data cap for the Edge (1st gen) unlimited plan?"

@ALT: I don't have the answer, and this isn't directed at you... just have to laugh at the absurd, surreality of it all... what's the "cap" on the "unlimited" plan... LOL

@sargejd:

wifi

justinpe

How does this program actually tether my iphone to my computer, is it via bluetooth, or is it via iphone cable?

sargejd

@AlphaTeam:

OK?

I understand why the limits are there, that is quite obvious. The data plans, tethering or not are for anyone who wants to buy them including regular consumers, not just business people. What I don't understand is why the tethering plan costs twice as much as the regular data plan with the same cap on data?

justinpe

@philesaid: No love on the macrumors link, no actual instructions. I guess I will wait on the cryptic "forthcoming" iTunes instructions. Thanks for the response though.

Crashdown514

@justinpe: The limit is there so you don't abuse the network; unofficially it's a soft limit on the Laptop Connect which means they don't really say anything unless you start using it a lot. They have the "cap" so they can kick you off if you abuse the network and slow everyone else down.

Don't forget, this laptop service is for business people who can check emails, view the news, IM--it's not for downloading big files; I only used 700MB last month; I go home to download my big files because quite frankly AT&T 3G isn't that fast, not mention they have poor latency.

AlphaTeam

@Fofer:

I suppose they call it unlimited because it would be nearly impossible to consume 5GB of data (this is the limit I believe) on just your iPhone. Kinda like an all you can eat buffet. No one can eat an unlimited amount of food.

On the tethering plans though, ATT includes the 5GB cap in the description of the service because it would be easy to consume 5GB of data while tethering to your laptop.

What I don't understand is why the limits are the same for both the tethering and regular data plan. You pay twice as much so you can access the internet on a laptop, but you don't get any more data?

justinpe

@Fofer: I know, but it truly exists, those AT&T monsters. I do have to admit that it sounded pretty foolish however.

ALT

Bad ass. I love nullriver. They make fantastic apps that fulfill specific needs just about perfectly.

housewarmer

Does anyone know if this would work with a PSP? As a wifi connection?

nismor2

I can't download it. I go to buy it and it looks like it will install then the icon disappears stating the app is no longer available from the App Store even though I can see it listed.

imagine-engine

And it's down again. Will somebody please make up their minds already?!?

Crashdown514

still trying to get that badboy :(

looks like AT&T snagged the "t" from torrent. figures

discounteggroll

one step closer to my dream of using my iphone as a orrent server.

Suck it AT&T

discounteggroll

For Windows users......grab the Firefox add-on FoxyProxy......it works with that.

exxonv

Ya! To get it to work on AT&T, I have to activate the 3G connection before launching NetShare (so after configuring the AdHoc network on the iphone, I surf the web with safari on the iphone thus activating the 3G over the AdHoc WiFi. Then I launch NetShare and everything works great. I made a full write up here: http://myutil.com/2008/8/1/finally-got-netshare-to-work-on-my-iphone-3g

KeithCadosneep

This works on XP with the FireFox add-on FoxyProxy.

exxonv

Just got this working on XP. I had to install the FoxyProxy add-on for Firefox. I hard coded the IP address settings for my wireless connection on my iPhone - and removed the default gateway IP address for that connection. The phone then switched to 3G for outbound connections. Next, I opened the NetShare app. Then I configured the FoxyProxy add-on to use a SOCKS proxy of my iPhone wireless IP for all URLs. I went to www.ipchicken.com and verified I was now routing through my phone.

Kind of a pain in the ass - but not too bad.

exxonv

Bought it ... used it to play WoW. Works well. Will try it out WoW on the train next week which is the main reason I need a tethering app.

to_nephron

someone out there has to know how to set this up on a PC, HELP!

Adinardo59

I emailed the developer and immediately got a reply. They claim that detailed PC instructions are coming soon. All he said was in most cases you just need to configure it as a SOCKS 5 proxy on the computer or web browser. I think I'll wait for the detailed instructions.

NRGray555

Damn. Payed $10 for this and no PC setup help. I emailed the developer. Waiting for a response. Does anyone know how to set this up on Vista on PC?

NRGray555

anybody that knows how to set this up on a PC please help me!

Adinardo59

Yes I to have a PC and have no clue how to set up the network. someone please help.

Adinardo59

It works fine on a Mac if you follow the instructions. I'm also getting it to work on a PC by downloading a 3rd party SOCKS proxy app. Just Google SOCKS Proxy Windows

mswansonpcs

Couldn't find doing a normal search. HOWEVER! Do a Power Search and it pulls up under Productivity.

drgnflyz

Ok..I don't know what happen to my 1st comment but I said are you trying to dl it in the US. If you are then that is prolly y you don't see it. It isn't prolly index for the US.

Luguel
