- Your Mac's Specs
- 13" MBP 2.53 DC2, 09 Mini 2.0 DC2, 07 Mini 2.16 DC2, MB 2.0 DC2, iBook G3 900MHz, G4 Sawtooth 1.6Ghz
so the USB connection in the new release of PdaNet allows windows users to avoid the hassle of creating a wifi connection and now you can simply download PdaNet desktop software (free) in windows and just plug the iPhone in and surf away.
i tested it last night on my VM XP on my macbook and it works perfectly. the catch is that PdaNet does not plan to work on getting this going on the Mac side because of a completely different USB structure. so i was able to surf etc... on XP but not on OS X.
my thought is that since the VM uses the Mac network in normal conditions then wouldn't it be possible to reverse that and when using PdaNet via USB in XP somehow get OS X to use the XP internet.
this is not my area and i thought others might have an idea.
thanks
