[Q] Razr Maxx - Mobile HotSpot (stock) - 4.0.4 ICS (stock, but rooted) - NO CONNECT - Motorola Droid RAZR

My Razr MAXX is running stock Verizon OTA 4.0.4 (.211) ICS. It is rooted. I have used SQLite Editor to modify Settings Storage (the one with the hammer and wrench) to modify the Settings.db, settings table and have changed the value for entitlement_check from 1 to 0 (and rebooted and checked the same file again to make sure that the change was written successfully to the table, which it was). I can start up Mobile HotSpot without any errors and without being asked to signup for a $30.00/month plan with Verizon, so we know that the entitlement_check hack has done its magic. Mobile Hotspot seems to run without any trouble.
My Windows 7 Pro (64bit) notebook sees the SSID created by my phone, and will attempt to connect to it, but when I do, I get this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is with my notebook, because my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet (Android) will connect to the wifi created by the Mobile HotSpot without any errors or problems.
I realize that this is an Android forum and not a Windows forum, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

The samething used to happen to me when I was on gingerbread. I used to change the password of the wpa2 key and sometimes turn hotspot off then on again and it would work. I still have the entitlement check at zero now that I'm on ics but I haven't tried the hotspot to connect to another computer yet. Ill give it a try and let you know if I get the same problem.
