I can get everything to work except right at the end in my second terminal (the one i ssh’d through) i get the following

[code]
alex@alex-laptop:~$ sudo ssh -D 9000 -p 3023 127.0.0.1
[sudo] password for alex:

and it keeps putting that up every time I try to open a web page… I used alpine as the password

Hey what kind of speeds are you guys getting (the ones who get it to work) is it as fast as your 3g network (ex. 1 mbps) or alot slower and what are the speeds like over adhoc network???

I hope so too… Thanks for testing so it’s not only a problem of my notebook. At least one good thing… But do you don’t think it’s an ifuse problem because itunnel uses it’s libiphone?

We’ve been doing some testing in the office and it’s looking like a 3.0 firmware problem. Fingers crossed the itunnel guys fix it.

@Blankster, @All
I also have troubles with the 3GS:
$ ./itunnel
- iphone get device error: -3
ERROR: failed to connect to iphone. quitting.
quit ok.

I’ve contacted the author of itunnel and he said that he will work on a fix.

@Ric: Thanks for your answer. Off curse I’ve jailbroken my iPhone 3G S and it works like a charm with anything else (copying files from/to it via SSH) from Linux and Windows. I’m not sure if Apple changed something with the usb protocol.. Because I don’t have any Bluetooth adapter on my notebook (and doen’t want to use an usb one) I’m searching for a solution via USB. If I can provide some more information, please let me know!

Blankster not sure on the status of the 3GS but have you successfully jail broken the device and installed SSH on it?

Thanks a lot for your instructions. After installing ifuse I got rid of the “./itunnel: error while loading shared libraries: libiphone.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” error message. But I’m still unable to conntect my iPhone 3G S (can this new iphone be the problem?) with my notebook. Unbutu 9.04 can find it without any problem… I tried to run itunnel a few times, but I allways get this error message: “./itunnel 3023 – iphone get device error: -3 ERROR: failed to connect to iphone. quitting. quit ok.”
