It won't start? Try clearing permissions from the SU app and starting the tethering app again.
What app are you running?

It's one of the reasons why they keep updating the permissions app -- sometimes things get screwed up. Another reason not to randomly update the app if you're not having issues.
Latest is not always the greatest!

Amen to that, I don't have the latest wireless tether cause the newest force closes when I try to run it.

Similar problems here 
Droid X, trying to Wireless Tether to Windows Vista laptop.
Currently running Wireless Tether pre-14 (same problem with pre-9, and possibly other versions). The WT app itself appears to work fine, and in fact connected beautifully to my computer for the first two days I was rooted. Since then, however, the computer only connects to the phone's wireless network with "Limited Connectivity" or "Local" - either way, no internet access.
I've changed from Channel 6 to 7
Encryption on, with the default passphrase.
Bluetooth off
Access Control off (never switched on)
Other thoughts?? This is the only reason I rooted, so it's rather frustrating that it worked for two days and now connects, but not to the outside world.

Try this link. The Wireless Tether developer gave it to me, and I downloaded the apk, and my tethering has worked fine ever since. http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_2.apk&can=2&q=

That's the last stable version.
What I've found is I have to delete and recreate the profile and/or renew my IP address when I connect to the WiFi tether. It's another step, but I do like the new features of 2.0.5PRE release versions.

Okay. What version of Windows are you running or are you on a Mac?

Are you using the stock connection software or something through a third party? Like, for example, a Dell-specific connection program, or software developed by the chipset developer like Via or Realtek?
