Sounds to me like you have a problem on the client side (pc/vista).

Please do some checks and post results:

- Open a command-prompt.

1) Check the wifi-interface.
type: ipconfig
Look for the wireless adapter. On my german win7 it looks like this:

Drahtlos-LAN-Adapter Drahtlosnetzwerkverbindung:

   Verbindungsspezifisches DNS-Suffix:
   Verbindungslokale IPv6-Adresse  . : fe80::852b:c1fe:2930:365c%14

   Subnetzmaske  . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Standardgateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.254

2) Are you able to ping the gateway?
ping 192.168.2.254

example-output:
C:\Users\Harry>ping 192.168.2.254

Harold, 
I was able to ping just fine the following is what i got:
     ping statistics for 192.168.1.1
          packets: sent = , received = 4, lost = 0 <0% loss>
     approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
          minimum = 1ms, maximum =4ms, average = 2ms

I am able to connect to other routers and access points just fine. I've 
restarted my 
phone and my computer numerous times. Stumped.

You have pinged 192.168.1.1 and not 192.168.2.254!?

Do you get an ip-address from the phone? Check that please by typing "ipconfig" 
(look
for the wireless-adapter) in a command-prompt and post results.

I used 192.168.1.1 because that was my default gateway. But this is what 
ipconfig 
returns when I am connected to the G1Tether network with limited connectivity:

Do you think this had to do with Cyanogen's ROM? I am using 3.9.7 right now and 
it is 
not working and previously when i made my first post i was running Cyanogen 
3.8.6.1. 
Thanks Harold i really appreciate the time your giving me. Donation coming your 
way no 
matter the results.

PC OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (x86-32) (Yes, I know. It came with the 
laptop, 
which is due for replacement in the next few weeks.)
Handset: T-Mobile G1 (UK)
OS: OpenEclair 1.2.2 (25/02/10)

I seem to have a similar problem running OpenEclair 1.2.2 on my UK T-Mobile G1. 
It 
came with a copy of the Wifi Tether pre-installed, but I think the 
configuration 
files were missing, so I went and re-installed it by downloading the 2.00 r7 
version 
assuming this choice OpenEclair ROM is based-on Android 2.1 update 1.

Would this be a hardware-based issue? Should I have gone for the 1.6 version 
instead?

This is what I get on the computer when I punch "ipconfig" into the command 
prompt:

--------------------------------------------------
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.41.110
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
---------------------------------------------------

The phone also started the tethering "with errors", with the error in the log 
showing:

"Activating WiFi interface..." failed

Any ideas?
