im running 2.0.5-pre7 on my Vibrant. Seems to work perfect.

What version are you running?

Also, be sure that your laptop can use "AD-HOC" networks as the tether app sets the phone up that way.

I know that my Nook can not use adhoc - therefor cant even see the tether network.

I would seriously recommend getting rid of WT or Barnacle (big fan of both) and use the tether app that was on the international galaxy that was removed from the carriers.... here is where I found it. It is truly a lot better!

Take note, this is not an app in your drawer, its in your settings (first post explains it). I dont think you will have ANY issues with it.
