i learned from somewhere that my lumia 520 does not detect ad-hoc wifi connection from a personal laptop.so i downloaded a much talked mhotspot software from the web to create a virtual router.So when i created a wifi network through my laptop using this software my lumia 520 detected the wifi connection as well as successfully connected to it but when i tried to access internet by opening nokia store .. unfortunately no success in that.Hence although i was connected to wifi i didnt have internet access.:eck::eck::eck::eck::eck:

Much to my disappointment my brother's E63 also detected wifi, successfully connected to it and woosshhhh got internet access too:shocked::shocked::shocked:.so here i am with a brand new nokia smartphone being overpowered by older nokia not so smartphone..:crying::crying:
please provide me suggestions to come over this problem so that me too can enjoy the benefit of unlimited broadband internet of my laptop over my cell phone:confused::confused::confused:

I'm even more confused now lol.... i was not refering to the virtual router but the one connected to your physical router. A little more information on your internet set up would be more helpful. I.e are you connecting your laptop to a ethernet only router via ethernet cable or using a usb cable modem on your laptop?

solved ... a third party antivirus firewall was blocking internet access through virtual router.. it was treating virtual router software(mhotspot) as a malicious software.. .
