I have a windows7 installed laptop connected to a wired internet connection. I want my Android phone to access internet via laptop using wifi. I installed Connectify, but when I click Start Hotspot the machine screen becomes black and automatically restarts the laptop.

Then I tried following this article (http://www.ishanarora.com/2009/07/29/windows-7-as-a-wireless-access-point/). When I issue the first command,

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow “ssid=testssid” key=test123 keyUsage=persistent

I see that same black screen and immediate restart. I am using windows7 and “Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)” ethernet.

Do you have the new beta? It fixes a known BSOD bug in the Connectify network service. If that doesn't work try this:

  1. Type “network connections” in the start menu and hit enter.
  2. Right click on any local network adapter and select Properties.
  3. In the list under “This connection uses the following items:” search for Connectify. Highlight it and click uninstall .
