Did you tried by setting “Obtain IP address automatically” at your xbox wireless adapter IP configuration?
I did everything as requested. However, my ipod touch still won’t join the network despite the fact that i have the right password

@Ajay : What is your OS?
first I pressed: Set up a connection or Network and then I pressed: Set up a wireless ad-hoc(computer-to-computer) network and shared the internet , then I did disable the network but when I did try again the button for Set up a wireless ad-hoc(computer-to-computer) network was’nt there anymore
It didn’t work with my Galaxy Y phone nor my Kindle. I had to install one of those “virtual routers” for windows 7 and then could share internet on my portable devices.
I think most portable devices don’t support ad hoc wireless connection (as my Kindles’s reported when tried to connect) and that’s why they’d made such programs to emmulate a router.
It does not work with most portable devices, it may work for example with a PSP (which supports peer to peer wi fi connection), so you have to download a program to get it working.
hey , i followed all the instruction given in this site , user are connecting but there is “no internet access” is showing ..help me please
This method doesn’t work on my iPad mini. Please help.
Hi! As I follow your steps and when I click “Turn on internet sharing” option I get a message as follows: “You don’t have enough privileges to turn on Internet sharing”. But I am working with the administrator user account. Why is it happening like this.
Try creating another Administrator user in your computer.
