I had used manual setting to connect my Nokia phone to my Wifi. 1st identify your settings from laptop: if you use vista its there in network n sharing center-view status (of the particular connection)-details: from there you will get the IpV4 settings like IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers etc. what i did was substitute the last digit 1 in IP address field alone to 5 n use all other the same details to setup access point in the device.It worked for me.!
