Help WiFi Hotpsot - cannot connect HTC Desire/IPOD Touch

I have just updated my HTC Desire phone to Froyo 2.2 but am having probs with wifi hotspot. I am trying to connect to it with my ipod touch and it detects the wifi signal and lets me connect but when I try going online with the ipod touch I have no luck has anyone managed this successfully? Thanks in advance.
 
Don't be daft, it's an Apple product. The only way it would work is with another i product :D.
Doesn't Steve Jobs have a line of wireless "bolt ons" that you can buy in order to make it work with other non Apple products? :D
 
Ive managed to connect my laptop via the desire with no problems. Its a proper one though, not a mac.
 
I'm having a similar problem. I have updated to 2.2 on my Desire, Macbook connects to the "HTC Network" but no internet connection!

Any advice?

Cheers
 
I have the same problem too - both with my iPod Touch and with my wife's Sony netbook. Neither seem to pull data through at all...

Called HTC who think my ROM needs reflashing - but I'm noticing a lot of people are having this problem, so surely there must be another fix?! Not keen to be without my phone while they do it, so now trying to find out if there's a way to reflash it myself...
 
Would be useful to get itgoodson and simonr101's input into this - I already know of a couple of other Orange users inflicted by the same thing - be good to know what network they're on...
 
I am an orange uk user with a sim free unbranded desire.
I regularly connect my lenovo laptop via hotspot to get my emails during meetings. works fine. I have also connected it to a friends Iphone 3gs seemed to work fine with that as well
 
Sorry for the delay in replying. Good to see there is some activity on the forum about this.

I'm running desire, branded Orange, 2.2, and trying to connect with a macbook

cheers
 
Same problem here. Have an orange htc desire, the wifi hotspot will connect but not transfer data to iphone 4, iPad, Macbook running windows 7 or an Acer laptop running Vista.

Has orange disabled hotspot sharing of a 3G data? Has anyone got an orange branded desire running 2.2 with working hotspot funactionality?
 
I also have this problem. Orange branded Desire with 2.2 update. Hotspot created fine and can connect devices to it but then those devices are unable to actually use the connection. Have tried connecting iPhone 3GS, Macbook Pro, a Windows 7 laptop and another Desire - all no good. A friend on TMobile created hotspot on his Desire, I was able to connect from my handset and browse the web so this looks like an Orange-specific issue. Odd though as Orange don't mention any restrictions on their website (when I last looked) and I can't see how they could justify any restrictions.
 
Same problem, with Orange , used windows 7 and ipad, nothing!! Probably what cause the delay blocking that off!!
