Can only connect hotspot feature on iPhone 5 to iOS devices, not my Thinkpad

Not sure if this is normal, and I hope not, but I cannot connect my Thinkpad laptop to the hotspot feature on my new iPhone 5. With my old BlackBerry, it was never an issue and I know my Thinkpad is fine because I can connect to any public wi-fi hotspots just fine, e.g. at Starbucks and Barnes and Noble.

Am I missing something?

I have no issues connecting my iPhone 5 hotspot with any Laptop I have tried with so far. Sorry not much help, but it could be an issue with your phone. That's definitely not normal.
