I have a fascinate, rooted with Cyanoganmod that I've been using as a wifi hotspot for some time. I have a Dell laptop that I connected with it regularly. For some reason, when I try to use my new Gtab, the ad-hoc wifi doesn't show up. It does for other devices but not the Gtab. I have that rooted with Gtabcomb and tried a friends Gtab with Gtabcomb..same issue. Could it be Gtabcomb not allowing me to attach to ad-hoc wireless networks? I did try a fix someone posted up here for Barnacle but that didn't work.
Thanks,
Did you try entering the ad-hoc info manually? I had to do that on my tab running VegaN 5.1 because it wouldn't "find" the ad-hoc network. Once I added it manually it connected right up.

weird. i can tether via barnacle with no problems from my facinate to my gtab with no issues.
No I tried setting it manually but I get "not in range". Tried darn near every setting I can think of in Barnacle an another wifi app to no avail. UGH!!!
brad08stanggt, what ROM are you using?

just received my A70, installed GApps and a few programs through the file viewer after transferring via USB.
Then, I wanted to download a few apps from the market...
I got Barnacle setup on my X10, and my laptops can both see the new WiFi network created by it, but the Archos can't
Has anyone tethered using this method before?
If so, I think I am using the wrong channel to connect, but can anyone advise which WiFi channel the A70 would require??
I can pick up other WiFi networks, but can't actually connect to them due to restrictions on the routers (I'm at work, they require MAC addresses and for some reason wont let me add this to the network )
Try any channel below 11. It's a known kernel issue.
if it creates an AD-HOC connection, then that's the issue.
Aha, yes it does. Damn
I'll have to try the proper tethering method then using the cell phone tether option (which I briefly tried but failed to connect through bluetooth)
Try "Wireless Tether for root users" with it's bluetooth option. Works for me Have the tether activated on the phone while pairing it with the Archos though.
Bought my gtablet a few weeks back when it was on woot and have loved it so far. Did the Clockwork/TNT Lite setup, and have added a few games and apps...
I'm not sure if it is an app I installed or something else, but right now it will connect to WiFi as always, but the internet doesn't work. Other devices using the same access points connect and work perfectly, just my gtablet is failing. It goes through what appears to be a normal connect and gets an IP without any failure and shows connected, but none of the news, marketplace, or web browser apps are able to connect to the internet.
Any advice to trouble shoot network connectivity? I had recently installed LauncherPro and was working on installing Titanium Backup Pro, (which I either didn't actually download and was just emailed a key, or it never installed because I can't find it anywhere...)
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with the ad-hoc wifi connection to WMwifirouter. The gtab shows it is connected with an IP, but no internet traffic will pass. That same ad-hoc wifi connection works with other winXP laptops.
However, wifi connections to my two other wifi router works fine.
I'm on stock 3389 with tnt enhancement pack.
Adhoc problem sounds gateway related.... the former issue... id start with a wipe.

I have the same issue - was it fixed yelrx8 ?
Is it a known Issue with CM7 - 0713 that Wifi hotspot is not working? Devices can connect to it, but can not get an internet connection
Try Barnacle. I had issues with WiFi Tether, but Barnacle worked right out of the box. Just the opposite of my experience on TW.
Yea, barnacle doesn't work either. I am specifically looking for the built in hotspot for Access Point mode.
Barnacle works flawlessly, try disabling the wpa supplicant setting

If you know how to get CM7 into Modem mode, I can give you instructions on how to get the built it Hotspot app to work. I'm currently running MIUI (which is based off of CM7) and am having the same issue. The problem is that you need to get the phone into Modem mode in order to connect your phone to QPST to change a setting that will unlock the Hotspot app.
Does anybody know how to get a Fascinate running CM7/MIUI into Modem mode?
Well, after trying to tether an ASUS Transformer, I see your point. Barnacle does ad hoc rather than AP, so it won't work.
Bump. Also experiencing this problem with MIUI. Has anyone ever come up with a solution?
Hey All,
First post here in the Galaxy tab forum but I frequent the XDA phone forums. I have a question (and I have done plenty of searching online and in the forums) but can not seem to get this to work.
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI only is rooted and has the newest TASK650 ROM installed. I am using the Motorola Photon 4G (rooted as well) with Barnacle WIFI tether. The Photon creates an adhoc network.
I have installed ZT-180 adhoc switcher on my Galaxy Tab and can not seem to get it to connect to my phone for tethering. I have made sure the SSID on both the ZT-180 app on the tab and the tethering app (Barnacle) match.
In the ZT-180 app on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI only, I switch from infrastructure mode to adhoc and it will not connect nor does it seem to do anything.
When I switch back to infrastructure mode it will connect to my home internet but switching to adhoc mode does nothing. Barnacle WIFI tethering on my phone is running and I can confirm I can connect to a computer for access. I have disabled WEP security just to be sure.
I know this topic has been discussed before but I could not seem to find the answers so I came here.
I hope you all can help a brother out.
Thanks again!

Anyone?
Edit* i was able to connect my phone and tab via bluetooth and turn on Barnacle tether and it works. Thanks
I was using barnacle wifi tether just fine before the update. now, post OTA update, and re-root, barnacle doesn't work.
It doesn't complain that it can't work. It just doesn't show any wireless available like it used to. Even trying to connect to a hidden hotspot doesn't work.
I've spent a while this evening googling and searching here, but I've not turned up anything.
I've also tried android-wifi-tether. same symptom. looks like it's working, no SSID broadcast, no hidden hotspot connection.

Have you tried reinstalling it, or PDAnet from market. That's a nice tethering app too.
