hi i have a verizon wireless internet card i use for my computers, and i have found out that only my mac can produce a ad hoc network with working internet. i might get an iphone soon, and i was wondering if i can set it down somewhere, and have it act as if its both a router and a modem. if someone could please answer it would be well appreciated. thanks in advance!
Got a tip for us?

no you can't.
jailbroken iphones could use mywi to use the iphone as a router, but that was for 3.0x. it doesn't work in 3.1 anymore.

The word you're missing is 'tethering.'
That's what you're asking about. If you search for that word you'll find a billion posts on the subject. The short answer is "no, you can't" if you're in the U.S.
Search the forum for tethering if you want the long answer.

Yes, there is a way for your iPhone to be used as a WIFI router but your iPhone must be jailbroken. The application is called MyWi and can be found at this link. www.rockyourphone.com/index.php/mywi.html?feat=y
