Help with Sharing iPhone Wifi Connection

[w8ing4intelmacs]

At Barnes and Noble, I can pick up the AT&T Wifi for free on my iPhone. Is there a way to share/tether this Wifi connection to my laptop?

BTW, every search I do gives me results showing how to share my laptop internet connection with my iphone or how to tether the iphone 3G connection with my laptop.

I've never heard of that being possible. Why can't you just connect your laptop to it?

Haha. It can tell when an iPhone connects to it, and allows that connection for free. If I use my laptop, it asks me to pay.

BTW, I already tried changing the User Agent in Debug mode (Safari), but it doesn't work

The wi-fi at B&N is likely from the Starbucks, which is AT&T. That's why it's free for your phone. If you want free Starbucks Wi-Fi, register a Starbucks card and then it will let you sign on for free, 2 hours at a time.

My Starbucks account does NOT work at Barnes.

Oops, I forgot, my B&Ns are different, they have full-fledged Starbucks in them, not the Starbucks Cafes.
