Whenever I try to set up a Wireless Access Point for my android phone via Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit) by typing in the commands with administrator privileges:
"netsh wlan start hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNetwork key=MyKey keyusage=persistent "
I get this error message:
"The following command was not found: wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNetwork key=MyKey keyusage=persistent".
Please help.

just use connectify free version for simplicity & nice gui.it is the most preferred option for creating software hotspots.

Create an ad-hoc network. The oldest trick.
