X200 using iPhone personal hotspot failure

I've got a friend with an X200. He is trying to use his iPhone 4s as a  personal hotspot. The phone is set up correctly because we can connect to it using my laptop (not an X200). My laptop connects using WPA2/AES.
When we try connecting using Access Connections, the association fails. I tried all four modes WPA/TKIP WPA/AES WPA2/TKIP WPA2/AES. All failed. When I click on the help me fix this button and get the report here's the error and recommended actions:
Connection status:        Disconnected
Cause:        Association Failed
Error code:        011
Recommended actions:
Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.
Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network.
As I said, we tried all the encryption settings and checked the key several times. The phone is using channel 2.
This is the Adapter info:
Adapter Details
Adapter name        Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN                                     
Adapter type        Wireless LAN                                                    
Adapter speed        150.0 Mbps                                                      
Driver/Firmware version        12.2.1.2/ N/A                                                   
Adapter status        Enabled                                                         
Connection Status        Disconnected                                                    
Disable unused cards?        No
The first fix I tried was to update the BIOS and Access Connections (5.85). Still wouldn't work and gave the same errors.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
Thanks
Solved!

  • Use iPhone personal hotspot to connect my iPad with my laptop

    I am living in school residence so I don't have a wireless connection, nor am I allowed to use a router on the school internet.
    I have an iPhone with data plan and personal hotspot. I want to watch movies on my iPad, streaming from my laptop, using some apps like VLC Streamer.
    So my questions are, can I set up a network using my iPhone, and have both my laptop and iPad connect to my personal hotspot? Will that allow me to use VLC Streamer? And will my mobile carrier charge me for the data between my laptop and iPad, which should be considered a local connection?
    Thanks a million!

    Please help me!!!

  • Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network.  This works on iPhone 4.

    Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network.  This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
    Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3.  I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network.  This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office.  Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

    In addition, you can refer to the link below for more solution about this problem.

  • How can I best make use of all my devices ? Mac mini, Apple TV, AirPort Extreme, airport express, ipad 2 (all purchased in 2011) and an old imac with OS X. I use my iPhones personal hotspot for all Internet.

    Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials.  And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online.    Hope you can find good use for them.  Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy.  I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

  • HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

  • Can I use my iPhone personal hotspot with my PC?

    Can I use my iPhone personal hotspot with my PC?

    Turn on Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, and then look for your iPhone's name in your computer's Wifi network list and connect to it.
    It works essentially the same as a regular wifi network.

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • TS2756 How do I connect my new iPad to my iPhone 4S using my personal hotspot?. I put my pass word In put will not work

    How do I connect my new iPad to my iphone4s using my personal hotspot on my iPhone.
    It will take my pass word.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

  • I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop using my personal hotspot. Stopped working all of a sudden. Any tips as to why?

    I used to always use my personal hotspot and connect to the internet on my laptop. Then one day it stopped working. I updated my phone so my hotspot password changed, so I changed that in the properties. It now says it's connected to my iPhone and there's internet access, but when I try to do anything it says not connected.

    It shows a connection. When using wifi n USB. I don't know how to connect using Bluetooth seeing what it says to do is totally different from my computer.
    I do have a connection but I can only connect to some sites, I tried YouTube n nfl.com n they both worked but google, hotmail n Facebook said couldn't connect.
    I tried using safari on my computer n like explorer I could only connect to a few different websites.

  • 2011 air with iPhone personal hotspot

    Hi all,
    I have got a 2011 Macbook Air 13" and an iPhone 4, both up-to-date with Lion and iOS versions.
    I use the Personal Hotspot feature a lot. I have set it a a favourite Network on all my Macs but it does not behave 100% on the Air: with a Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and a 2008 iMac, when I enable Personal Hotspot, both machines find the iPhone stratight away and connect to it. However on the Air I have to always go into the WiFi menu and THEN it finds th iPhone. It does not do that, however, with other WiFi networks eg. my home Cisco router or AirPorts.
    Any ideas? Perhaps a teeny Lion bug?
    Cheers,
    KW

    Hmm... Seems that I am the only Community Member who use their iPhone 4 and tethering to the 2011 MacBook Air... I don't like being special!
    Anyway - last week's Lion update didn't solve the issue so... any thoughts?... Anyone?...

  • My location services are frozen. Can I use my personal hotspot to backup and restore my phone?

    My iPhone 4S was upgraded from the 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 and I expierenced a major malfunction. Immeadily after the upgrade my daughter installed a 4 shared app then she went on line and downloaded AppCaster. The AppCaster crashed then my google latitude app crashed. Now my location services are frozen. Is there any way I can back up and restore my iPhone using my personal hotspot. I can't get to a public hotspot to use my icloud backup?

    one cant use the personal hotspot feature to restore the device coz the phone will d/connect as soon the restoration process is underway. you will need a PC/laptop t ocomplete this process,in case you dont then ,maybe go to the apple store and request them to restore it for you from icloud

  • TS2756 Using the personal hotspot

    I just got an iPhone 5 and want to disconnect internet service since I can use the personal hotspot.  My friend's laptop will connect, but mine won't unless I use the USB connection.  Any thoughts?

    Hey rjnelson,
    I see you came from the iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot, which is applicable to the issue you describe. If you haven't already, I would run through the steps within that article, specifically the following:
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Have a great day,
