Wireless Tether troubleshooting

[Bilgediver]

Did you get the app from the market? If so it's terribly out of date and not as compatible. Try the one from my signature, also linked to here: Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code to see if it helps.

Are you sure your laptop can handle Ad-Hoc networking? It should, but there's always that possibility. Have you tried USB tethering?

What's interesting is that the latest build of Wireless Tether doesn't work for me. When I tried it it FC'd on me every time.

2.0.2 works like a charm for me, stable and runs great.

iPods and Ad-Hoc tethering don't mix. Apple intentionally killed that capability in the hardware or in iOS, I forget which.

ok but even if i try to do it with my computer my wifi tether still dose not work it says unable to start tethering

It could be an issue with the kernel/rom.

I do know some kernels give issues with wifi

Okay, trying to connect your computer to your phone is another matter entirely.

Your phone says unable to start tethering? Or the computer says it can't connect?

Lol android either. Androids only connect to infrastructure networks directly. There is a windows 7 app called connectify (can't try it yet, don't have windows 7) that shares any connection and allows your laptop to funtion like a router on the network for other devices.

Check your superuser app and make sure it has permissions.
