    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.

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

    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.:)
