usb tethering not working

I have xperia l and want to connect to internet on my pc through my phone. I installed pc companion but connect to internet option wasn't available. so I ddecided to connect via usb tethering. I switched on mobile data and ticked the usb tethering box in settings. it was successful but all the browsers on my pc showed could not connect to internet. please tell what's wrong and how can I connect to internet.

Thanks

Can you access Internet in your phone? 

In that case I would suggest that you contact your network provider/operator to confirm if tethering is allowed on your subscription. 

Some operators also have an specific APN settings for tethering.

yes I can access internet on my mobile. why pc companion doesn't has a connect to internet option? when I connect my phone to PC it only shows xperia connected not xperia l connected. and after tethering it doesn't shows xperia l modem connected to internet, 480kbps, like my Nokia 2730c shows. is it due to that I don't have proper driver. can u give me the link to download xperia l driver.
