hotspot station running and network connected in wifi device but no internet access

[lokesh jaddu]

HI folks(lol),

I am using the dell xps 8500(india) bought a month ago. I have a problem using the hotspot station, I have configured to share my internet connection and fired up the hotspot station. Everything goes fine and the device gets connected to the network, But when i launch the browser in the mobile it cannot access the internet, it loads for a while and then says 'unable to connect to the internet'. I have checked with other devices too to confirm the it was not that mobile's fault. I have searched the internet alot regarding this issue but couldnt figure out why this happens. I am very frustrated with this issue

Help me out please..

Thank you.

Telling a story does not provide technical info to understand what your system is comprised of.

Please describe the Network and the way it should connect in technical terms.

check your dhcp scope and default gateway being given to hosts
does the device have diagnostics you can use? ping a well known internet server from the hotspot to verify that it itself has connectivity
