I would like to connect my P1 over my laptop (Gericom supersonic) so that I use internet on the phone. How can I "set up" HotSpot on my laptop, so that my phone will detect Wlan and will be able to connect to it?

I already tried that today, but my P1 doesn't find any Wlan, it writes "Network not found".

Check your Firewall Settings, try with turning Friewall Off

And try with switching your Wireless Card to B only Mode.

This works on my P1.

I presume you are using Windows XP

Go to Network Connections -> Right Click your Wireless Connection -> Properties - > Configure -> Advanced -> Adhoc Wireless Mode -> Value = 802.11 B only.

May be different for your wireless card, but there will be an option to select A only, A/B/G Mix, B Only, B/G Mix and G Only.

Let me know if this works.

@ ExSpirit

You need to turn Off and Turn On your Wireless Card for the changes to take effect, there will a Button on the side of your Laptop to do that.

BTW if you do this you cant connect to the Wireless Acces points using 802.11 G Standard with your Laptop.

Cool, thanks.

It's found now, and when I try to connect, it asks me to set settings on phone. I set:

Security: WEP
Network: Ad Hoc
Ad hoc channel: 1

I am connected to my laptop, but the problem is that I can't access internet on my phone. I messed around with settings and changed things and now I have internet too and I don't know why do I have to change everything 10 times and then put it back to what it was and then it works Oo

Shouldn't I just connect and write pasword and be online, I never wrote password here (well I did write it when I changed Security to WEP and then entered only 1. out of 4. keys)...

I just disconnected and tried to connect again and same problem again - connected but no internet. Then Wlan not found, and after a while found again and ...

I don' know if it's laptop or mobile causing problems. Is there any application for enabling Wlan and ability to see who's connected...?
