[Q] Noob here! Zio to G Tablet tethering issues

---

O.k., let me apologize if this is a repeated post. I really did not want to do this, but I am desperate!
I know that the forum mods frown upon repeated posts.
But, I have searched everywhere on this forum and on Google!
I recently grew a set of grapefruits rooted my Cricket Sanyo Zio (running 2.2) and my ViewSonic G Tablet (also running 2.2 rooted with 4349)
I downloaded Wireless Tether to the Zio; didn't work!
I downloaded Barnacle to the Zio. Seems to give a WiFi signal. The PC's seem to detect it, but the G Tablet doesn't!
I then looked at a couple of youtube videos and downloaded all the necessary stuff (nvflash and gtab.Century.Eyes.rar) on the G Tab, risking turning this machine into a $300+ paper weight!
Still doesn't do it!
Then, I noticed there isn't an custom ad-hoc for Zio on Barnacle.
Could that be the problem or did I just didn't do something right on the G Tab part?
Help much appreciated.

I don't know about the G tab but barnacle has worked flawlessly for me with everything I've tried to use it with.

With wireless tether go into settings and change to wpa-supplicant instead of ad-hoc and set a 13 character wpa key. Also set an SSID name. Connect to Wi-Fi on whatever you want to tether.

Nope. Didn't work.

FORGET IT!

Once again, let me apologize!

I did not realize this was a forum for people that are already born with the knowledge of Android hacking and tricks and that speaks this constant techno babble!

I think I will cancel my account and go else where...Better yet, I'll just get rid of the G Tablet and stick with this big clunky Windows laptop!

It is obvious in this everyone-for-them-self society, you cannot help with one simple little task!

DON'T WORRY! I WILL NOT LET THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE ASS!

BTW: TELL YOUR SPONSORS TO QUIT SENDING ME SPAM E MAILS!

Well good bye! I offered a solution. My tether works perfectly with wpa.
