Why can't I use my Lumia 730 as WiFi hotspot with laptop

Using Internet sharing, I am trying to get my lumia 730 to link with my Dell laptop via Wifi or Bluetooth to act as a hotspot. The phone is broadcasting OK, but it cannot see the laptop, and the laptop cannot see the phone. the laptop is running Win 7, which has given me problems already with syncing--is this another problem of Win 7 with Lumia 730?

It is.Check whether the net on the mobile is running properly.
