On the laptop that is, not on the phone.

ive been in this forum long enough to know whats about to happen here.

1)person x wants company comuter to do action y.
2)company z doesnt like that and has i.t. person keep you from doing that on company laptop.
3)person x uses some program to get around that or does a reg edit.
4)company z finds out and fires person x for tampering with company property!
5)person x has a lot more free time to spend on ppcgeeks.com (the greatest website ever!)
just be careful where you tread in a company computer's registry. thats all im sayin.

The reason companies lock you out of ad-hoc networks is because there are a lot of hackers out there who share their internet on their laptop as 'Free Public WiFi' then capture/sniff all the traffic of the people who think it's "legit" - all the while capturing any weak and clear-text passwords, as well as unsecured laptop file security.

If you know enough not to connect to those things, ad-hoc is just fine. Restore the registry when you're done with your cell phone and work is none the wiser. :P

Then again, I know our IT guy.

hahahahaha. no. sorry we got off track! as far as any of us know, tp2 is only capable of adhoc, not infrastructure. the latest android tethering program will though. to point you in the closest direction, try to dual boot andriod and go at it that way. it prolly wont work though. thats my only idea.

if you have a windows seven computer or laptop you can use connectify, i have not seen a direct way to share with an infrastructure mode but with connectifity you can plug the tp2 into the computer with usb and use the computers as a wifi hotspot here is the link http://www.connectify.me/
