Foxfi password problem with Galexy S3

[rejdmast]

Hi,

Foxfi works great except for one thing.
I cannot get the password to work.

I am using Foxfi 1.91.2 on a Verizon Samsung Galexy S3 v4.0 unrooted phone.
If I don't set a password all my computers and devices can access the hotspot.

As soon as I set a password, no devices can access the hotspot.
My Windows 7 sp1 x64 machine gives me the error message "Network Security Key Mismatch" no matter what I enter for a password.

My HTC Incredible looks like it connects but instead of saying "connected" it says "idle". Digging a little deeper on the HTC I see the error message, "IP Address:error"

My friend could not access the hotspot with password from his Mac laptop.

I have tried the recommended fixes - changing the hotspot name, rebooting, etc.

I have searched around and cannot find anyone else with this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had exactly the same situation happen to me. I tried the same fixes with no success.
I ended up purchasing Wifi Hotspot made by SVTP, which works great.

I tried it the other night with my iPad and didn't have any problems. If I get a chance I'll try with my laptop after the kids get to sleep.
