If you used the "secure" script and conf then you MUST edit the conf file with your own MAC addresses (lines 153 and 154). Otherwise your client computer will be assigned .254 and all the traffic will be dropped by iptables.
If you just dumped the entire directory into your G1, then regardless of whether you ran tether-secure or tether, it is using dnsmasq.conf. You have to rename dnsmasq-secure.conf to dnsmasq.conf and delete the unsecured dnsmasq.conf to block out unregistered MACs
What is the exact ip address assigned? It should be 192.168.2.___ either 30, 100 or 254.
You F-ed up somewhere along the way. That's a APIPA address that is assigned when no dhcp service is detected. Delete all associated files in /data/local and start over.
Hm.. when you plugged the G1 in did the charging indicator come up? iirc my G1 has always remained fully charged up during tethering when leeching 500mA off of USB.
1. Install the contents of tether-1.5 as described in the "New Way".
There is no functional change. Actually, the script liberally "borrows" from the one alansj originally posted a month ago here. The only change is the addition of dropping unauthorized macs in 1.1.
