Ubuntu – How to tether internet from the iPhone

11.10iphonetethering

I'm trying to USB tether Internet from my iPhone 4 and when I connect the phone, it will appear as a wired connection but my pc will never establish a connection with the phone.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 but have yet to perform any updates.
Is there any configuration changes I need to make or install any third party apps to get this going?

There is a package in the Ubuntu Software Centre that allows you to USB tether to your iPhone. You can find the package here:

Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run this command (root privileges is required):
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 8289 -j ACCEPT
Replace 8289 with the port you want to open.

So in your case, you should use

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

This will allow all incoming and outgoing connection through port 80.

Usually, by default, this is not blocked, so if you have installed some kind of firewall, it is best to try and unblock the port using the firewall.
