Having a problem with WiFi Tether - Epic

On my home computer, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit.

I rooted my phone with the one-click root program.

When I try the wireless tether, it boots up without any errors in the error log.

I can connect to the network (on my PC) that the wireless tether is showing up as (The name & password go through fine, and I connect)

The problem is that once I do that, I cannot access the internet from my computer, and the "connected devices" thing on my phone doesn't show... Well, anything.

Help please? :(
 
Don't know what version you guys are using but don't use the one from the market. Use one of these instead, uninstalling any previous version still on the phone:

Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code

If it still doesn't work, create a folder titled android.tether on the root of your SD card and place the .apk and the following bin file inside:

fw_bcm4329.bin

Run the .apk from inside the android.tether folder and retest to see if things are working.
