Try wifi tether, a quick google will bring up the google code webpage.
Once it is installed go into the settings,
Select the proper device profile,
check Routing Fix.
make sure wifi driver reload is checked.
Sometimes the tethering needs to be fully started, then stopped and then closed. Once you reopen it you should be good to go to connect with your laptop.

This is the exact setup I use, and it works flawlessly. Also, you may try resetting your wireless adapter on your laptop. A lot of the time that can fix limited connectivity errors.
Both of the laptops have windows 7. I just downloaded the wireless tether app from Google code and will try again when I get home tonight. Also how would I go about resetting my wireless adapter?

Alright so set up the suggested settings in the wireless tether app and it ddnt work. I reset my wireless adapter and it still ddnt work. I clicked on diagnose problem and it said that my wireless network connection doesn't have a valid IP connection... I've restarted the app and tried again and reset my adapter multiple times to no avail... is there anything I can do?

So you can tether your xbox wirelessly with the wifi tether app? That means the issue is with your laptop. have you tried another wireless network to see if you can connect to that with your laptop? also have you updated the drivers on the laptop. Also you can try to disable your firewall on the laptop.
Yah everything else connects to my laptop. I even have a Verizon mifi that's works perfectly. And my phone plays nice with everything else. The only thing wrong with with my laptop is that it doesnt wanna tether. Just says what I posted 2 posts above. How would I go about removing the firewall?

On the wifi tether app, under settings, do you have router fix box checked? I believe it needs to be.

Wireless tether worked best for me
I wasnt able to get the WiFi tether working but i was able to get Wireless tether 2.0.7 using the liquid.mecha v3.2 ROM
here is the result
8.92 Mb/s Down and 6.46 Mb/s up
not bad imo

Yah its checked. I'm just gonna assume its my laptop. Does what radio you have have something to do with it? I have the 2.5 radio instead of the 3.0 with my cm7

Wireless tether is known to not play nice with some Intel wireless cards. The only sure-fire way to fix it that I've found is to set a static IP configuration based on what the phone is transmitting. It seems like the wireless card doesn't want to pick up the phone's IP address, so you have to do that manually. Tedious, but effective.
Ok. I'm not very computer savvy so how would I find out what my phones IP address or whatever and how would I manually input into my computer? I do have an Intel wireless adapter.

I was hoping to use pdanet to connect my Flyer to Evo phone for internet access when wifi is not available. I installed it on both devices, followed all directions, and they both said they were paired and connected. But Flyer can't get online.
Has anyone else tried this? Or know what I'm doing wrong?

Why should someone? Both devices have all functions for a direct connection and didn't need old tools like pdanet?!
On the EVO phone:
-> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot ...
On the Flyer:
- Connect to the WiFi which you set up above
PS. Some providers didn't aloud to make a WiFi-Hotspot on their 3G connections.

Yes, I know this, but sorry to say I don't want to pay $30 every month for occasional internet access for Flyer to access the very same stuff I could do on the phone. So I don't understand the extra charge. Data is data, and if I go over what I pay for, I am happy to pay for additional. Why should the device matter? Hence, a tethering app.

I thought pdanet was a wired tether app? Hate to sound like a cliche xda user but root might be your best bet.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Pdanet has a bluetooth connection option, and also now has a beta tablet version. I think Easy Tether is wired only. After following directions to configure, it appears they are connected to each other, bluetooth pairing, etc, but no data will flow through phone to tab.
I've had my Evo for quite a while, and it's exactly the way I want it. I hate the thought of rooting and risking really screwing things up. I'd like to make it work without root.
I wonder if there are any integral differences between Flyer and View that would cause problems in connecting to phone hotspot. Is phone hotspot any different from computer wifi?
Now I have a rooted Wifi Flyer with support for Ad-Hoc networks. Just replace the wpa_supplicant file under system/bin with the one you can download on this forum.
The file is located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
No need to flash the zip. Just open it, copy the wpa_supplicant file to your Flyer and reboot.
Now I can use wireless tether with my rooted D1.
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.

I just rooted my hboot 1.5 last night, I have superuser and all that stuff, but when I try to use my wireless tether app but my other device I'm trying to connect to my 3D keeps saying obtaining ip address and won't connect to it, any help please?

I just rooted mine today. And I am noticing that getting a client to pull a DHCP assigned IP is somewhat quirky.
I got my Transformer tablet to pull an IP couple of times now. Initially I dsiabled running apps that may be trying to use wifi - Xmarks, Skype, etc... So try nuking some running apps.
It may be that I merely need the tell the transformer to forget the 'AndroidTether' SSID, and reconnect to it. That seemed to work the second time, I'm going to try with my some other clients and see if I can make a tad more relaible.

Yeah, actually after I posted, I looked at some other search results, and saw wwjoshdew's thread (that dude is excited!). And enabled both options. I type this via my EVO 3D using my work laptop (XP pro), and can say that my Transformer tablet, and my kids' iPod touches have all connected using wireless tether. (Got two laptops for the kids under the tree - this will pay big dividends on the next road trip.)
Just need to lock it down now. And go donate.

2) to wireless tether dudes
3) to teamwin recovery dudes
4) whatever else I install that proves to be so damn compelling...
Mine too i cant seem to make it work, it says no internet
When computers are connected to my phone, ie says dns problem,i checked dns 8.8.8.8

No wifi encryption
Enable access control - unchecked

could always try barnacle tether as well, that one works for me when I couldn't get wireless tether working.
barnacle works well for an adhoc... i also have a problem connecting at home with any wifi app even the hotspot hack.. it was driving me bonkers but... when i wasn't home, it would work...
i finally came to the conclusion that because i live in a condo and there are 10 different wireless networks. those routers seem to squash my evo3d's network.. did the same with the OG evo.. making it hell to try to tether without a usb cable... so guys if your in an area with alot of wifi networks try wifi tethering elsewhere and see if it works.. hope this helps..
Just thought I'd chime in here and say the reason your not connecting to your wifi app of choice or the hotspot hack is not due to there being multiple wireless networks around you.

This could definitely be it, I have a Vizio TV that came with a wireless subwoofer and rear surround speakers. For the life of me I couldn't figure our why my laptop could never connect to my home router when I was in that room. Some days it would work great but most it wouldn't connect or I would get terrible throughput. I even replaced the router once. It never dawned on my since I almost always have the TV on when I'm on my laptop that the wireless subwoofer would be the problem until I turned the TV off and my network instantly improved. Turned TV back on and crap network. I unplugged the wireless card from the TV and haven't had a problem sense.

That just means your sub woofer may have not been magnetically shielded. Also you could have just changed your routers frequency or just moved it to a different location. But a wireless sub woofer interfering with a router is understandable. But not being able to connect to a wireless network because of to many wireless networks is not true.

update to my problem,
i downgraded to 107, it now says "internet connection", and i noticed my pc and mobile phone is "paired" or linked, but when i tried to use internet, it does not do anything and the internet now says "no internet", i see that on tether app there is some upload and download going on like .4kb once in a while (then it will say "no internet" on my wifi ), i cant browse the net, if i click diagnose (int explorer) it says DNS............. again......
this is what I encountered.

Title says it all. I can't locate the WiFi Tether app on here. Any help would be appreciated.
I just read Wireless Tether 2.0.7 works on the Rezound. I'm at work so I cannot try it though...search google and you'll find it.
Wireless Tether 2.0.7 did not work for me. Nor did 3.1 Beta 9. The SSID of the Tether is not broadcast, and manually creating a profile connecting to hidden SSID doesn't make a connection either.
In Titanium Backup I see an app called "TetheringGuard 2.3.4", but freezing or uninstalling it makes no difference.

tetheringguard is on my phone and my wifi tether works. yours does too. TetheringGuard only seems to have effect on the verizon wifi hotspot app (if you delete tetheringguard, the hotspot app stops working). Whatever device youre trying to see the SSID with doesnt like ad-hoc connections and thats the only way the app works on the rezound right now. Either that or you tried turning on encryption, in which case, just turn it off and run it open. It does work though, I've used it plenty to tether my fiance's Ipad2.

Hehe, I spent 58 days consulting on-site for a security company, it was hilarious how many people were trying to get into my Incredible's tether every day.
It doesn't work for me just stays on obtaining IP address
I use wifi-tether 3.1 beta 7 with mss clamping and routing fix enabled.
I also just decompiled with 4G hotspot and saw that you have to register with Verizon in order to activate 4G hotspot. There's a ton of checks in there.
I used wireless tether without any problem on my old droid X, but now I'm having connection issues. My Asus transformer can see my Rezound just fine and connect, but my in dashoard Galaxy Tab doesn't see it at all.
I've tried the current beta of Wireless Tether, 2.0.7, Barnacle, and Open Garden, all with the same results.
We need to nail down what specific settings those successfully tethering are using.
Please list the following.
1. What app you are using.
2. What settings you are using (device presets, clamping, ect.).
3. What you are successful in tethering wirelessly to.
I'm going to run a few more tests, and post mine.
I don't mean to ask a dumb question but these apps just allow you to use your phones 4g on a laptop, etc. ? Are they free if you have unlimited data?
Why aren't people using Mobile hotspot to tether or am I getting confused?

Thanks for the post. I really need to know this too. I've tried everything but still a no go.
According to wiki ad hoc needs the same channels to work. For the people that do have it working what channels are you using in ad hoc mode.
Definition
To set up an ad-hoc wireless network, each wireless adapter must be configured for ad-hoc mode versus the alternative infrastructure mode. In addition, all wireless adapters on the ad-hoc network must use the same SSID and the same channel number.

The problem is what devices you try to use to connect to your phone's mobile connection. I tried connecting with my Asus laptop (Windows 7) and it wouldn't connect correctly. I tried connecting with my gf's windows xp laptop and it works perfectly fine!
If you have questions about wireless tethering, please go do a bit of searching and reading, there are hundreds if threads that describe what it is.
This is a thread so we can get it working right.

I fought for days over this before this release and from my trial and endless errors Ive come to realize (very very long story short) for the time being the best work through is using "OpenGarden" from the market. Don't change any settings. Just have an open connection and use access control. Like I said. Long story short, the issue lies within encryption. Leave it open and use access control. Hope this helps.
