Help Issue in connecting Nexus10 to Wifi hotspot

Hi,

I am using "TATA Photon plus" USB data card (CDMA) to get the broadband connection to my LAPTOP (Sony Vaio running on Windows 7). I am trying to use my laptop as wifi router so that I can connect my nexus 10 and nexus 4 to same internet connection. I came to know that Android is not supporting the Ad-hoc wifi connection and it can read only WPA2 connection.

I installed "Connectify Hotspot" software in my laptop for sharing TATA PHOTON+ broadband connection. The wifi connection is getting recognized by Nexus10 but it is hanged at "authenticating" and "Obtain IP address". I gave manual ip address in my Nexus 10 . Now it showed "connected" but no Internet connection.:( .. In Connectify hotspot, Nexus10 is still showing "connecting".

Please help me with workaround or if i am missing any step.

Is your hotstop set up as ad-hoc or infrastructure? I haven't seen any success getting N10's to work with ad-hoc networks.
 
That should work fine... Do you know if the hotspot is set up as ad-hoc or infrastructure? WPA2 is independent of the type of network.

WPA2 = encryption
Ad-hoc/infrastructure = type of network
