I'm having the same problem. My iPod will connect to the phone, however, but my 
laptop will not (Win7x64)

Had the same issue with the same specs. Market was outdated.
Resolved by installing wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk

My laptop didn't find my phone at first, then I turned on Access-Control. So 
enable that to test.

Could be a vendor issue. I tested using a TP-Link USB dongle and it connected 
just fine. iPods connect just fine and my friend's HP laptop connected just 
fine. The OP's laptop and my Sony VAIO (VGN-FW170J) which uses an Intel WiFi 
Link 5100AGN (802.11a/b/g/n) wireless card.

As discussed in issue 244 
(http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=244) updating my 
WiFi drivers solved the problem

YES The driver update did it for me!  Working fine.  Don't only rely on Windows 
Driver update only. Try it first to see if that would resolved it. If not go to 
the wifi manufacturer and get their latest driver's update DIRECTLY from their 
website.
