GT-i9300 sharing network connexion
Added by E D almost 9 years ago
Hello,
I try to use the "share connexion" functionality of my smartphone, but my laptop always fails to obtain one IP from the smartphone.
More precisely it endlessly waits for one IP address. I currently use the WPA2-PSK encryption, this step seems to go smoothly.
In the smartphone logs i see no errors, just some DHCPOFFER. My laptop is connecting well to other access points.
I have not yet tested all configurations, but I just wonder if anyone already experienced such troubles ?
Maybe there is something to set, I also use the firewall AFWall+.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Best regards.

What exactly is your setup here? Are you sharing a mobile data connection with your laptop via Wi-Fi?
That usually works nicely here. Perhaps you should disable your firewall at all to test and try to only disable the parts that conflict if it proves to be the problem?
