There are three ways you can use the internet connection on your G1 to surf the web on your laptop/computer: USB, Bluetooth and Ad hoc wireless network. I won’t be showing how to tether with bluetooth, but you can do a search for that online.
Tethering through USB
Prerequisites:
Firefox or any SOCKS v5 compatible browser
Root access to your G1 (follow this tutorial to get root access)
Once you have root access, you can connect your G1 through USB and use tetherbot.
For windows XP and Vista Check here for detailed directions
If you use Opera browser like me, you need to use this hack for SOCKS v5

Check Graham’s website on how to use the portbouncer.

Tethering through Wifi -ad hoc mode
Prerequisites:
A wireless card to scan for networks on your laptop/computer
Any internet browser
Either a G1 data plan or the tzones hack - check my previous post to get the tzones hack working
- Turn off wireless on your phone
- Download tether-1.6.tar and place it in /sdcard via USB cable
- Unmount the sdcard and disconnect the USB
- In your terminal type:
su
tar xf /sdcard/tether-1.6.tar
tether start
Now go to your laptop or wireless device and search for new wireless networks. Connect to ‘G1′!
To stop tethering:
tether stop
