    I think I know what your talking about.

    Youll need to jailbreak your iPhone, if not jailbroken already.
    DOwnload the app from Cydia: PDAnet.
    And a Wireless card for your computer (if you dont already have one)

    The app takes the iPhone internet and makes it into a wireless router. you can then connect to it from your computer's wireless card. ;)


    If you meed information about jailbreaking, just ask. :)
