Hi,
Ive got SGS2, 2.3.6 unbranded stock rom.

When i try to tether wifi to my laptop,
i can connect to the SGS' AP but cant surf the net. I am able to surf the net via phone's browser.

i've tried several laptops and an Iphone also.


googled for solutions but couldnt find any.

Please help me.


Thanks.
 
This was a long time ago. Actually forgot I mentioned something in this thread. I actually got the wifi tethering to work. Its actually my PC issue. Running Windows XP and had to use fixed IP for office wifi. The problem was the PC can connect to the phone via wifi but couldn't surf because the IP used was the one for office which is sort of restricted. Don't ask me how. It just is. As long as its set to automatic, it works fine.
