How to connect laptop to internet via Galaxy S2? I am traveling with my notebook and I want to connect to the internet using my cellphone data connection.  I have a Galaxy S2, and I've set up a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, which my laptop successfully connects to.  But thereafter I cannot connect to the internet.  Can't browse, ping, nothing.  All I can ping is the gateway (which I presume is my droid).

Is there some secret switch I'm missing?
Depending on your carrier, FoxFi may help you out. It allows you to share you mobile data plan as a WiFi hot spot. Just be careful not to use too much or your carrier will get suspicious.
