Internet connection sharing not working, when trying to access webpages on the other device it never loads

1. My internet service provider is BSNL , I use a BSNL EVDO modem
2. Nope the remote device is the device I use for connecting to the hosted network and browsing
3. The host computer is a Laptop- Lenovo G510 . The remote devices are an iPad and a android phone. The network doesn't work on both devices.

The modem is not recognized as a Mobile broadband. I have attached a photo for showing that. The USB modem is not shown in the networks are in PC settings.

Pls help.

Hi Eugene,

This issue could be due to settings with the USB modem or firewall could be blocking the connection.

Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

1. Who is your Internet service provider?
2. When you say remote device, are you trying to connect to a different computer?
3. What all devices are you referring to?

Check if you can access Internet correctly when the Internet is shared with only one device at a time.

Please follow all the steps mentioned under section Troubleshooting in the following link and check:

Mobile broadband from start to finish

Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.

By the way, Is there any way to see if my modem supports sharing in windows.

I don't think you have understood my problem. I already made a Ad-Hoc network. I do not want to transfer photos and videos. My main purpose is to share my internet with the other devices. I have done the steps until starting the hosted network before and the network connected showed Internet IPV4 connection. But then on my iPad or phone the pages wouldn't load. It would stay loading for ever until the web browser says: the server isn't responding. Here's the status of the shared network before the steps you mentioned

Now here's the status after the steps

Hi Eugene,

Windows 8 comes with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) feature to allow devices to connect to yours PC internet connection. In this post, we will show you how to easily create and manage ad-hoc connections in Windows 8.

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=wirelesstransferapp key=12345678

Press enter, you should see a prompt as below

When the hosted network is started, enable ICS for newly created Wi-Fi connection for your currently-active internet connection.

Now you can join this newly created Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and use the wirelss photo transfer app to move photos and videos around them.
