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.
