zoom Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I transmit my ethernet internet connection through airport on my imac. When I do that hot spot thing, my sonyericsson mobile phone can obtain the connection and there is no problem. But when it comes to my notebooks, both packard bell and lenovo models couldn't connect to that hot spot. When I click on the connection, it doesn't even ask for a password and skips to troubleshot screen, which doesn't help for anything at all. What might be the problem ?
