Have you checked all of the settings in the wireless tether app? Are you using wifi encryption, and/or access control? If you have access control enabled, you need to 'accept' your computer for it to work, there is a box you need to check, with the ip address of your computer labled there. If you don't check that box, then you'll get your problem (that's only if you have access control enabled) Otherwise, I'd suggest changing the channel to channel 1, if it isn't already set on 1. If that still fails, I would try a different version of wireless tether. I don't have a link handy, but if you google it, you should find it. There are many different versions, and some don't seem to work correctly on certain Evos for one reason or another. Good luck sir.

I am pretty sure MikFroyo has the hacked hotspot. The reason that people use wireless tether (imo) is because 1) it works with 4g, as the hacked hotspot only works on 3g. 2) has more settings and is more easily customizeable. 3) usually seems more reliable (apparently not for you, unfortunately) So I guess if you dont have 4g in your area, or don't use 4g, then the hacked hotspot should work fine for you. I'll see if I can find the link with the different wireless tether apk downloads.

EDIT: here you go. All versions. http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...downloads/list

seems like its been happening often on 4.5

try THIS valpak edition

see if that works..
