| 1414148 | 2016-01-07 07:26:00 | OS Windows 7 Enterprise. Connecting to Internet via Samsung GalaxyA5 Phone (in mobile hotspot mode) to 2 degrees mobile data. Hotspot connects to 2degrees mobile data OK. I can browse the internet no problem (at approx 3-4.5 Mbps) Odd that the network status icon on the task bar shows the SSID and that the computer is connected to the hotspot but reports "no internet access" when obviously there is. Anyone know why that should happen? Thanks |

Cheers, KK |
