Already tried it first that is for Verizon Xoom, wifi Xoom is a little different in its' settings. Also use MyWi, nothing against TeherMe just don't want muti-apps on my iPhone and MyWi I also believe that is part of the problem. Maybe when a full untether jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 is developed I can do this and get it going.
