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

[jly.public]

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.

Same here. Works great on my laptop as well.
