hi i have an o2 dongle, the huawei 1752, can i share that connection over the wifi on my laptop to my iphone

On Linux
easily.

On Windows
you'd have to use "Ad hoc" (which is bad) or get 3rd part Airpoint Software.
Then you can use Internet Connection Sharing....

On Mac
Also possible.

But the iPhone has its own 3G.

each time i try set up an adhoc connection its available but has no internet connection, i'm nearly at the limit for my iphone 3g this month so dont want to run up high charges on my bill

You need to set up Internet sharing (ICS) or Bridge also.

Yes, you can, I am doing that with this router: http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_det...id=3&pl2_id=18

Well a router is the smart easy best way... but I think the OP just wanted a quick SW only solutiom

yeah was hoping to do it with software, i have ics set up and have used it before with a playstation but when i set it up to share over wifi, i dont know if there is anything else i need to configure

I managed to do this. I have an 02 compass 888 dongle. I had it connected to my windows xp pc , i enabled connection sharing and connected a wifi router to the pc via ethernet cable. I now have a wireless conection form my o2 dongle.

i was looking to use the wifi on the laptop rather than a seperate router but dont know what i'm doin wrong
