This article says about how to get internet connection for another devices/laptops from a tethered iphone

In other terms, you can use your iphone internet connection for other pcs as well.

Here you go:

Things you need:
  1. iphone(of course) with tethering enabled
  2. Your PC
  3. A wireless router
  4. Lan cable
Steps:
  1. Connect your iphone to your main PC with itunes(or minimum apple mobile device driver) installed, and tether the internet.
  2. Go to network and shaing centre(in Vista & Win 7)
  3. Click Change adapter settings
  4. You will see two network connections( One is apple mobile device(enabled) and local area connection(disconnected)
  5. Select two connections together(click with ctrl key pressed)
  6. Right click and click bridge connections
  7. Now you will see a new virtual wireless router icon, status d/c
  8. Connect your router with lan cable to the network connection port of your pc
  9. Now the virtual router will be enabled/connected
  10. Connect your other devices to the wireless connection of your router.
  11. Congratulations!! Your device/laptop should be now connected to the internet
Note: you can use the wired connections(remaining 3 ports) of the router as well.  This was discovered by me after a lot of trial and error attempts. It really took a while for me to figure out :-)
