It's probably due to that connectify shares the connection as ad-hoc which is not supported by your phone. Check if you're able to share the connection as host instead. That would work.

Yes. i have the same problem. you could make an infrastructure with windows 7's virtual miniport. thats easy. run the Command prompt as administrator, then first type this :

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yourSSID key=yourPASSWORD

then hit the Enter, and then type this:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

hit enter and you have a network that can be found and connected to arc s. dont forget to enable internet sharing in your LAN adapter.

bad news is, the connection keeps dropping and i dont khow how to fix it

its kinda funny, i had a sony ericsson Hazel, it could connect to a ad-hoc network, but now i have a Xperia arc s than wont connect to ad-hoc.even with android 4. I dont know why they call it a smart phone, it is smart, but some times its dumber than my calculator
