Xperia Z - Error Ocurred During Tethering

[energylevels]

I can't get tethering working, when I turn it on i get a message 'an error occurred during tethering' i can still connect my laptop to the phone's wifi hotspot but only get local access..

I am on Ornage UK

Yes they support tethering

Yes mobile data is switched on

Anyon got a clue? There seem to be a lot of people on Sony Xperia phones with the same problem ???

Thanks ....

Actually it shows the error ''Error occurred during tethering''. I don't even know how this has been overlook, they  just had to activate the tethering and the error will pop right up no matter what. No wonder the lollipop on Z/ZR/ZL is filled with bugs.

I had faced the same issue , I resolved the issue by making below setting.

Settings_> more _>thetharing&portable hotshot_>wifi hotshot settings_>set discoverable options.
