I have a jailbroken 3G that I'm trying to use to tether a locked down corporate laptop. The laptop will only connect to a router based access point. It won't connect to a peer to peer (aka ad-hoc) connection, so I'm looking for tethering software available for the iPhone 3G that creates a connection that looks like it's router-based.

I've tried MiWi with no luck; it does peer to peer. All the other software I've been able to read about so far (iPhoneModem and PDANet) seem to create peer to peer connections also.

Is anyone aware of any tethering software that creates a connection that looks like a router-based access point?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Why not use the USB based built-in tethering? Or are there lockdowns on installing device drivers etc that are preventing you from this?

Thanks for the idea, but you're right; I don't have admin rights and can't install anything.
