Help Help with connecting to net on my laptop using mobile AP

[bambii]

Hi,

I used my galaxy s i9000 on my friends netbook to connect to the internet using the mobile AP in settings out of curiosity to see if it would work, it did work, although I remember us having to make a new connection because using the connection that popped up wasn't working but I can't remember what we did. We just fluked it tbh.

I'm trying to connect the internet on my laptop running vista using mobile AP and it gets past the point of where I put my pass code in then tries to connect and says the wpa authority has timed out or something. Tethering is active, I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Anybody have any idea how I can get it to work? Any help is much appreciated ^_^

What are your Mobile AP settings? I prefer WPA2 and no problems so far.
Are you sure you put a pass in the phone?

I would start by going to Windows and deleting the connection then setup the AP on the phone, and on the computer search for it and try connecting again.

in 2.1, the phone will give you the code when you turn on mobile AP. on the computer, click on connection, right click on samsung galaxy s, click property and there input the code which the phone supplied. thre you'll be connected. however, in froyo (2.2), there is no more code, just turn on the mobile ap on the phone, on your laptop, search for samsung galaxy s in connection and then click connect.
