No Ad-Hoc Connections

---

I just bought the Motorola Xoom and activated at least for a month with verizon. I tried using Wireless Tether from my samsung fascinate, which works fine with my wife's IPAD, but the xoom does not show up.

Anybody knows if the motorola xoom is locked to "infrastructure" wifi and doesn't allow ad-hoc connections? Or better yet anybody has a way around it?

Mine is tethering thro my evo...not sure what's different.

Yeah me either. I know the samsung fascinate appears on my laptop as an ad-hoc connection, is the reason why i ask.

Not all tethering is created equal. Hotspots and various phones act different.

Im in the same boat with my moto droid. Adhoc is what the wifi tether app creates on my phone too. I wonder if newer phones, or other programs can create an artificial hotspot?

So what app are you using "Wireless Tether" or "Barnacle"??

I'm using the built in tethering. I run CM 7

I just successfully tethered with my Nexus One (CM7)

tried the wireless tether for my evo 4g and it works.. maybe you need to update the app?

If anyone has a jailbroke iPhone and using MyWi. I'd be interested in knowing if the Xoom can connect to it.

I know it's an AdHoc connection and plan to use it when they release the wifi version of the Xoom
