why can't my Apple laptop connect to Imagio as hotspot??

[mlevin77]

I've got an Imagio with the stock Verizon ROM. I've tried both CMInternet Sharing and a registered copy of WMWifiRouter to set it up as a hotspot (to share its cell phone network connection via wifi). I've now tried it with two laptop clients - Apple laptops with OS X 10.6 and it doesn't work. The network shows up under the list of Airport networks, but it never gets a valid IP address from DHCP - says it has a "self-assigned IP and won't be able to access the internet". What am I doing wrong? 2 different apps with two different machines makes me think I'm missing something. Anyone have this working - any ideas?

thanks,

Mike
