Not connected to the internet with adhoc sharing

Hi
i have a cable connection connected to my laptop and i used the adhoc networking to connect to my iphone.
i have turned off the firewall and turned on internet sharing .
And the wifi in my iphone shows connected as well.
it also shows
IPaddress
subnet mask
router
dns
search domains

bUT still i cant connect to the internet..
what do i do ?
Thanks
 
do I read you to say the connections are like
Code:
modem--->PC<---->phone
 
theres a great app out there called connectify that lets u do JUST that ...go give it a try , its free and it works
 
I believe the O.P. is looking to Share data.

The iPone can always be used as a WiFi internet connection, if you're daring enough to accept the data charges :)

Code:
 cell provider <- - - iPhone <- - laptop
 
Heres the experience i have with adhoc.

After you setup your main sharing computer to output the adhoc network.

For computers or devices your trying to connect you have to set a manual ip to 192.168.0.X

subnet - 255.255.255.0

and gateway to 192.168.0.1 - which is your main laptop running the adhoc.

for when i tried running adhoc in my house if i had any of the other pcs to connect to the adhoc via dhcp (auto ip). it would not work.

I had to set each computer to a manual ip.

Hope this helps.
