Thanks..

Please try ICS first to see if it is setup OK.

Run active sync on your phone. Make sure 'enable USB" connection menu item is checked. Don't attach the phone to the PC yet. Make sure your phone is on, fire up IE and see if you can access the internet. Do you have a data plan? Might be a good idea to go to a site you have never been to before, or delete your cached files, to preclude loading a cached page.

Better yet, do you have a ping utility? VX Util (free) has one. You can eck your connectivity with ping.

Make sure you can sync with your PC using activesync. I asume you have it installed on your PC. Latest version is 4.5. Earlier versions had issues!

Connect the PC and phone. See if sync works. Then run ICS on the phone.

You should now be able to use your PC to access the internet. Again, disable all other net connex on your PC to make sure your phone is providing access.

Then run wmwifirouter.exe. .91 should not require any manual config.
hope you can get it working.

Edit: You might have to set up an "open" adhoc connection in your wifi applet (settings..connections..wifi) then start WmWifi router. I did not have to do this with .91, though. See the following posts on this.
