Computer wont connect to wireless tether - Motorola Photon 4G

I rooted my phone, and when i try to wireless tether the network shows up on my laptop but it will not connect. Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks

Disable authentication and give it another try. For some reason, when I setup a WEP key I'm unable to even see the network on my laptop. Once I disabled it everything was working fine.

I was having same issue I tried both the beta version (wifi tether) and the version found in market (wireless tether). The one from market works however, its strange that my laptop when in Windows 7 I cannot connect but when using Ubuntu It works. I am trying to figure out how to get my PS3 and Windows 7 to connected.

The computers network card must be able to handle ad-hoc networks.....AND the drivers must also support it.
Not all cards or drivers do.

I have tried it all both tethers, one called barnical and nothing. It just says computer taking longer than normal to connect and then says it cant connect. I never had any issues on my laptop with my evo. When i first opened the app on my photon it says no access control something about the kernal.

[Q] Open Garden wifi tether and Windows 7

Anyone having trouble connecting a laptop running Windows 7 to a Fascinate running Open Garden?
Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but search isn't working, and I'm dealing with a time constraint.
EDIT: It works fine with my other laptop, which is running Vista.
Depending on what ROM you're running, you'll probably be better off switching to Wireless Tether for Root and using Infrastructure Mode (the little info I could find about Open Garden suggests it using AdHoc mode), which should improve reliability a great deal (there's even some Intel Wireless Chipsets out there that crap out constantly when connected to an AdHoc network... upgrading the drivers for them can help, but they still have issues).
It seems that the built-in wifi in many laptops are not compatable with the wireless tethering apps. I have tried ALL of the apps with my laptop and none of them have worked. The only way I could get it to work was to use an external / pcmcia wifi adapter, or use a wired tether program.
Yeah, Google is my friend; I found updated Intel drivers and it connected fine. I also tried to install Wireless Tether, but my phone didn't like it; told me I had "insufficient space." I guess that's something to figure out some other time; at least my other laptop is online. Thanks so much for the reply!
Oh, and I'm running Evil Fascination...
No issues here running open garden tethering to my windows 7 computers...

[Q] Reverse Tethering Through USB Cable On Android 2.3.3

I'm asking this question on BEHALF of MYSELF and OTHERS. Can you SHARE your LAPTOP or PC's connection with your android phone.
For example lets say i wanted to play a gameloft game but i need to download additional data through Wifi, is there a way for me to use my Laptop or Pc's connection through my phone so i can download the game for my phone.
If anyone has a solution to this question please make your answer VERY DETAILED
I am on a XPERIA X10, Please reply or answer THIS QUESTION
Advice:
I've Googled about this problem. I have data plan in my phone and no WiFi at home. Many people like me also use this way to get connection. But what they got were "FAILED". ONLY WAY = connect TO WiFi (can't say every game, but maybe 1% can use reverse tether method)

melvinchng Same here i dont have Wifi in my house, there certian games that wont download with my carrier network and insist on me downloading through wifi. I ALREADY know how to download GAMELOFT GAMES that require wifi only but it is very inconsistant and dodgy on my x10.
Theres a wifi signal on my laptop i can connect to the but the signal on android phones are so bad i just cant connect to the router.
If your pc has wifi(I know you don't have wifi in your house) you can download and use the app connectify for windows
If your pc has a working wifi card (with drivers installed of course), then you can share its connection via wifi. If you have windows 7, you can use "Connectify" or "Virtual Router". If you have windows xp and above (on a dell pc. Don't know if it works on others), then you can use "Dell Laptop to Hotspot Converter".
there is a guide on my device's forum about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229558
for the step where it says "bridged local area connection and LG adaptor," you must find the equivalent of the lg adaptor that applies to your phone (if that makes sense). other than that, i think it should work.
What you are looking for is called "usb-internet pass-through" correct? Alot of custom roms already have it as a feature in the wifi setting, next to wifi hotspot. Im not familiar with your device or whether you are rooted but its pretty handy. Can also work as a wireless card, as in turn wifi setting on the phone and plug it into a desktop that doesnt have a wifi card and presto, wifi through your phone thats through a wireless router so its not eating up your data quota and much faster than the 3g on your phone.

USB tethering woes

So I've been tethering with wifi no problem since I got the phone. I can not for the life of me however get it to tether via USB. I've tried it on two separate window 7 x64 laptops with the OEM USB cable with no luck. Made sure udb debug was disabled, made sure drivers were correct, tried rebooting both the phone and computers. I'm on the official tethering plan so that isn't the issue. Tried the MTU trick the Mac guys hander been using, still no good. When I connect the phone, it recognizes it as a network device, RNDIS, and says it can see the DHCP server, but it assigns some random 169 IP instead of a 192.
Anyone else having this problem?

Update. Called VZW and went through the normal insult my intelligence troubleshooting. They handed me off to moto and we repeated the same song and dance. They suggested I try the mtu workaround, which I had already tried. Then the guy pissed me off by asking "why do you want to use USB anyway? Can't you just use wifi?" I asked "you mean wifi, with it's known bugs?" He dropped that lol. He couldn't fix it, so he submitted an "engineering ticket". We'll see what comes of it I guess.

I can't get Verizon's USB tethering to work either. Verizon's Wifi hotspot works for my laptop but not the kindle fire.
I'm thinking of canceling my tethering plan since I got easy tether to work and then I use Intel's my wifi to share the internet connection. My kindle can then connect to the wifi shared by the laptop and I can even watch Amazon instant videos.
Verizon's wifi hotspot and USB tethering is a fail for me.
Well, I decided to tinker with it some more. This time I unrooted it, then did a factory wipe and lo and behold...USB tethering works. Haven't tried re-rooting it to see if that breaks it as there currently isn't really a strong need to root anyway. We'll see how long this lasts I guess.
Same problem for me with Vodafone.
Although Wi-Fi tethering is working like a charm, USB tethering fails on routing connections.
It can't resolve hostnames...
It's not a data plan problem, it is mobile equipment failing
Any new ideas?
Hi, I am also trying to use the RAZR's built-in USB tethering feature with no success on Windows 7 64-bit. The Remote NDIS driver from Microsoft seems to act very badly once the RAZR is connected... basically the whole "Network Connection" Windows function completely locks up.
I CAN tell you guys that this works perfectly with Windows XP SP3. I actually connected my RAZR via USB to a Windows SP2 machine that had RNDIS hotfix KB959765 appiled to it.
With that Windows XP setup, USB tethering over RNDIS works perfectly! So can someone tell me how things got so badly screwed up in Windows 7?
I saw this exact same failure when I tried tethering to Windows XP SP2 without the RNDIS hotfix applied, so are there still some unresolved problems with RNDIS in Windows 7?
I would suggest that you download "easy tether"... when.you run the app it will give you a website to download the win 7 x64 version... when both are running, and you enable USB tethering on the phone.... you will have no more problems....

Isn't there any solution without a software on the pc? Cause at my office I am not andmistrator and I doubt that they would allow to install such a software to use pc's internet connection for my mobile..
I wonder because my old HD2 with a andriod rom could do this without any software with any pc just fine..

USB tethering not working on windows 7

So just got the Evo the other day and love it! Coming from the Evo 4g its a big difference. Quick question though..
I'm at work and wanting to run the USB tether on my desktop (in a trailer and we don't have internet running in for another couple of weeks). I have all the drivers installed and the computer recognizes when I'm in mass storage mode or just charging, when when I switch to USB tether mode, my phone says "turning on" but nothing happens on the desktop in fact it disappears like its not connected.
Not sure what else to do here is there another driver that I need to install or what's going on?

I've never seemed to be able to use tethering that way on any device what I did was used WiFi tether (must be ics generic) or use a tethering app from the market all u need to do is install there client to ur computer and connect. U can download the client onto ur phone and then transfer to ur pc that's how i do it when I restore my pc so I can update my WiFi drivers

[Q] Tether / driver issue

I turned on the wired tether today on my rez running CM 11 unofficial vigor from Neo. I have never used the wired tether before, I thought I was turning on the wifi hotspot. Anywho, it works. The tether works. This is significant because since I reinstalled windows, I have not been able to communicate with the rez via usb from either windows or ubuntu. The drivers were wiped, and the HTC software will not recognize the device when it is plugged in. It suprises me that tether works. Am I alone in this?
I believe on kit kat you have to choose your computer connection as its disabled by default, try going to settings>storage and hit the menu button, should be able to pick your default connection from there.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tether has always worked in cm11
but for me to get it to work in windows 7 i have to go into the device manager and manually choose a different driver for it to work which would than disable storage access until i turned it back to the original driver. so in win7 it was a pain
as for ubuntu it was automatic tether which came in handy for me because i would need internet to sync rom sources ect..
but since my chipset/NIC is unsupported by linux (x58 mobo with Bigfoot Killer E2100 for NIC onboard)
i didn't have internet over LAN in ubuntu, but i was able to pass my WiFi or Lte connection through my phone temporarily until i got a usb wifi dongle just for ubuntu use
