I have a rooted razr maxx. I want to tether my ipad to the phone. In the past with my rooted droid x I had no issues with tethering.

However, currently I cannot get the ipad to connect to the internet. It finds the network, connrects, shows the wifi connected symbol but cannot actually surf. In the past I had no issues with tethering this same ipad to my droid x.

I've tried: Foxfi, Barnacle, Open Garden, and even the old Wireless tether app that I used on my droid x and had the same issue and the same thing above keeps occuring. I tried rebooting the phone several times and even tried forgetting networks on the ipad. I also tried this with and without WEP/WPA security.

On the barnacle log I see: DHCP: Failed to parse ---numbers and letters--- for brncl_dhcp_dns2 and then NAT: Could not set MTU of rmneto: Invalid argument.

Of note my wife uses Foxfi on her Charge (nonrooted) with no issues.

This is very puzzling.

I just installed FoxFi and it worked immediately. I'm typing this on my laptop. My laptop discovered it as a wifi source and I just hit connect. Works like a charm for now. Very pleased! It DOES have an indicated top speed of 5850 kbps. I can live with that...

Let me try something for you. Might not get to it if my son doesn't go back to sleep right now. Give me a few.
