these instructions apply to mhotspot on windows 7 (host) wired internet, wireless sharing and windows 7 (client) wireless connection.

things to look at assuming the basics have been already ruled out.
#1) on mhotspot shared internet ( HOST ) machine check
control panel->network and internet -> network connections
local area connection -> properties ->sharing
allow other network users is checked
Home networking connection must identify the correct
Virtual Wifi MiniportAdapter ( see mHotSpot Name )
if not correct ; a) uncheck Allow other network users … b) press ok … c) go back to properties->sharing, d) check allow other network users … and e) select correct Home networking connection

#2) on CLIENT windows 7 machine
Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections
Wireless Network Connection ->Properties
Configure-> Advance -> BBS Mode
Value: 802.11g Mode ( this works for me ; may be different on your unit )

running hotspot 7.6 on an Acer laptop. portable devices detect the WiFi set up network but are unable to connect to any site. Furthermore, the system does not show me the client details. Even to respond that it could not retrieve the client data takes for ever. Any ideas why?

Hi Author,

The article about mHotspot is way outdated. By the time you wrote the post, mHotspot 5.0 was released (you mentioned 3.0).

Currently, mHotspot is very easy (no need to enable sharing manually) and current version: 7.6 with lot of features like: you can view hotspot data usage, connected clients details (mac id, ip address), restrict no. of clients etc.,

Please update it.

Thanks,
Sai krishna,
CEO of mHotspot
