Ok Guys,
I got rooted, I installed Wireless Tether App for Root Users.
On my personal Laptop, I can connect to the WiFi Hotspot. Works Great!!
On my Work Laptop, I cannot connect to the same WiFi Hotspot because..
"Your network administrator has blocked you from connecting to this network".
I was told that AdHoc WiFi networks are blocked on my Work Laptop. So what are my options now?
I was wondering about USB tether. How to get that? Please suggest.
Thanks

Install a 2.2 rom and use MobileAP, it's an infrastructure hotspot. I can even tether my Android tablet to it. I have used Cognition and now using Serendipity. Awesome. Simply awesome.

I second this. You can even tether other devices to a 2.2 device with no troubles at all. Even wireless tether goes wonky on me sometimes, but mobile AP just works
You could also try Easytether. Although it costs money, and involves installing the software on your computer, it works. I used it with my not-so-fantastic G1 from forever ago. (to see this app in the market, you may need the market access apk.)
Hopefully this helps a bit.

I am stuck at updating the Software. I Click on Software Update in the Settings Menu and it say "Communication in Progress..." this goes on forever and never does anything.
Do I have to undo Root? to update the software to 2.2.
You say "Install a 2.2 rom" can you provide some instructions where and how?
Anyone using NC to tether to a android phone?
So I only have luck with Nexus One, but HTC phones are not working.
It's connected to the wifi hotspot of my desire HD, but the wifi is white in color (connecting to my home wifi, it's green). I guess white means it is not connected to the internet.
I have searched around, threads talk about NC not able to see adhoc networks, and I tried, but it didn't work.
Anyone else facing the same problem and managed to solve it?
ROM: CM7-RC4
Most modern smart-phones can do an infrastructure tether, instead of adhoc.
What tethering app are you using on the phone? is it secured?
If your phone only supports adhoc, it was perm disabled in one of the recent nightlies but you can re-enable it. Try searching the development fourm for "Adhoc enable"
I'm sending you this with my Nook via wifi-tether on my Droid Eris. Both are running CM7...makes things easy peasy.

My Nook is running CM7-RC4. My Desire HD isn't rooted, still running its stock wireless hotspot application. Everything else can connect to my desire HD's wireless hotspot, except my nook.
@deadbot1
Maybe that's why it works on my friend's nexus1, it is running CM7-RC4 as well.

I do not know for sure, but you may want to look into rooting your phone and trying different Wifi tethering apps. My phone is by no means high-end (LG Vortex) and I'm using the WiFi hotspot widget, from the market, to tether to my nook.
Running Droid X with Teamblackhat 3g Hotspot patch. (easily findable on google) Tethering laptops, Nook Color, even a colleague's Iphone has worked flawlessly. Not sure if it's verizon exclusive though.
my htc hero is tethering just fine to my nook color. Im using the wireless tether app from market, might as well just root your phone.
No problems tethering to a Droid 2 Global running Fission ROM and using wireless-tether for root.
NC is running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks testing rom (latest plus customizations.)
No problems tethering my nook with my inspire

I tether all the time using MobileAP. Built in tether function on froyo and up. SGS Captivate here. Won't work with apps like android tether. They use adhoc.
I tether off my evo as my nooks only source of Internet.
Sz rc2d.
Oh well, still unsuccessful in finding a non-intrusive solution for this.
I'm using a Nokia E72 with the JoikuSpot application which creates an ad-hoc network and getting mixed results. It was working on the train earlier but now it's failing to find the network. I'm using CM7 RC4.
Pretty seamless with google nexus s to tether wirelessly. That is sure to change when gayTT takes over.

I also tether with my Evo. Works great.

I figured with all the people who managed to tether, it could be a problem with the wifi hotspot app that HTC has bundled with their stock rom.
The weird thing is while clearly browsers, market don't work, gtalk & gmail still works.
I am unable to get my nook connect to an adhoc network broadcast from Ubuntu. It used to work fine under Windows but now that has stopped working as well. What settings are we supposed to use? Ive looked around and all people say is "create an adhoc network and connect to it"
Im running Honeycomb v4 on the emmc of my Nook Color
I am running tether from my droid 1 which only does ad hoc. The original wpa_supplicant on the nook can only read infrastructure. Don't remember where I found the one I have, but it works pretty well.

I'm interested in getting my wife's Nook Color to work with my HTC Hero. What version of wi-fi tether are you using? Have you done anything to the Nook to get it to work?
Thanks.

Has anyone sucessfully tethered their NC running CM 7.02 with an android phone? I can not get them to connect.
Yes I have tethered my tmobile vibrant running a non stock rom. What phone do you have?

Yes. If your Android phone is rooted, you can use wireless tether (free in the market). Depending on your phone, you may be able to tether via bluetooth as well. I use my Hero CDMA as a tether daily for internet as well as navigation and data transfer.
I'll second wireless tether, I have my Thunderbolt running wireless tether & my CM7 Nook connects without a hitch. I've heard Verizon is blocking wireless tether though, so you might have issues downloading it from the market if that's your carrier.

Hi,
I followed orlandoxpolice's instructions for Da_G's gtab 8.9 LTE root at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401100
and I am now rooted. The reason I did this was so that I can use the LTE service from my laptop in those travel situations in which the gtab's browser doesn't work as well as my laptop's would for some websites that I need to use on the road.
However, I can't get tethering to work. Maybe this is a Honeycomb issue? I installed the latest Barnacle, and it grabbed superuser perms and seemed to run perfectly, but I get no Internet access from my laptop when I tether to the gtab, even though I connect to the gtab and get a dhcp ip address with no problem. I also tried Android WiFi Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but that produces the same result. Has anyone else gotten this working?
Thanks!
can't say i have tried this, but could it be a driver issue on your laptop? have you tried tethering with your desktop or any other computer?
Hmm, ROM or kernel might not have the necessary bits to route packets for tethering, I made a note to take a look at things next time I get a chance. Still no device though so I'll be doing it in the blind ROM doesn't have android tether app built into settings -> wireless & networks I take it?

I am not great guru on these phones (or any for that matter). I have similar situation. Had an Evo4G that would wifi tether after root. This phone (Desire 510) seems to have additional guards. After installing the 3.0.3 of the wifi-tether apk there is a message that appears in the log indicating the phone takes control of the wireless ethernet interface after tethering has started. This kills the wifi tether.
I haven't identified what process is block the wifi tether but there is one called tetherguard. Mine is a Sprint phone so tether is available at a fee. The phone must be capable.
