Default Atrix HD and Foxfi

Foxfi is a great program where you can use wifi tethering without root. I have used it before on other devices but with the Atrix HD when I open it and another computer connects to my Wifi signal then the phone reboots.
I have read on another website that 2 other people are having the same problem and was wondering if anyone else is. I sent an email to the developer of Foxfi but haven't received a response.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get this program working without it causing a reboot or if there is another program that works just as well?

No problems here. Why not use the native hotspot functionality. It works very well.

How do you use the native hotspot functionality? Will AT&T detect I'm using the tethering, if I use the native hotspot?

I'll have to give that a try. Have to use a tethering app until this device gets rooted. My 3gb data plan doesn't include mobile hotspot.
I still am wondering if anyone else is having problems with the phone rebooting while using foxfi?
Thanx

I tried foxfi and it also rebooted. when I turn on the native hotspot, it immediately turns it off and stated my plan does not include tethering.

Anyone tried using bluetooth tethering using Foxfi? I would like to use my iPad tethered through Atrix HD. However, if bluetooth tethering is not gonna work, I don't want to jailbreak my iPad.
