Try to check if the two are sharing the same ip address, or maybe check your router settings. If possible, put static addresses for each one.
Hope this helps

Now, my phone can't connect to wifi alone even my laptop didn't connect, but to make my phone can be connected, i need to open my laptop and set up an wireless ad hoc, then only my phone can connect to wifi, not through my laptop but my home's router, weird... by the way, static ip can be set inside modem?

try to reboot ur phone with wifi on
if it presists u can set a static ip for ur S2 using any 3rd party app from the playstore

Use HD2 as a Wifi Router when connected to ActiveSync

Hi,
I don't have wifi at home, but I wanna do some surfing on my laptop, without being connected to Internet with wires.
So I got an idea: why don't I use the wifi router program on my HD2? I can connect it to my desktop computer (it's connected to the internet with a wire), and then turn it into a wifi router. But apparently it only works with GPRS to Wifi, not Active Sync to wifi.
Is it possible to do?

So you are trying to do this:
PC -> HTCHD2 (Wifi Router)-> Laptop
Sorry I'm not sure if you can do that.
If you have 3G, it should be sufficient and you can charge the phone while using it as a router. Hopefully someone else can spread more light on this subject.

Connected to wifi but no internet.

I got a problem with my wifi on the flyer and also on my Desire HD.At home it all works fine but when i am on the military base where i am during the week the problem is always there.
In the room where i sleep we have intenet via a ethernetcable.I do not own a laptop so i installed a router.It all works and both my flyer aswell as the DHD are connected to wifi and have a strong signal!But if i try to use the browser it says it has no internet connection!
Weird thing is that skype works,but all the rest does not.
I have tried 2 routers and both give good signal but no internet...
Hope somebody can help me.
a LAN is not a WAN. You are connected to the LAN but not a WAN, but you need to know a few things to connect to the web. First of all the default gateway and DNS server IP addresses and that might not work but is a start.

If you're using connectify so try it to restart this app and start hotspot again..sometime I had have same problem..
if you are using avast antivirus then avast blocks the connection sharing by default...
internet works on my tab
i think something happened to my phone..
im using cosmix xperia v3.1 rom

[SOLVED] Galaxy Ace connected to Wi-Fi but no internet.

Well, the title says pretty much all .. I earlier didn't have this problem.. Then since last night, I came back home and connected my Galaxy Ace to my home wifi, but this time, it wasn't transferring any data.. It would be connected, full signal, but no internet connection.. My browser, gmail, YouTube, PlayStore, nothing would load.. It'd keep saying Connection Error. Retry.
My wifi works properly on the computer and other devices, and my phone used to work perfectly too! Why's it suddenly giving this problem?!
Any solutions!?
SOLVED!
Okay so I figured it out on my own!!
I went to Wifi Settings>> Advanced>> and "Use Static IP"
I then provided my phone with an IP address, gave the DNS servers as mentioned by my Router, and gateway, is ofcourse, the IP adress of the router. NETMASK is Subnet mask ..
Once I filled in them correctly, and as per my router settings, my mobile is now transferring data and I can now access the internet!
Just thought I'd post a reply incase anyone else was facing this problem
No data through laptop hotspot.
I have a similar problem, but with using my laptop as an access point. My Samsung Galaxy Ace had no problem connecting to either my or my wife's laptop access points initially till about a week ago. I use an HP while my wife uses a DELL. We both run Windows 7. But, here's when things started to get strange.
1. The Ace even though connected through my laptop's AP Wi-fi cannot send or receive data after the first few seconds.
2. My wife's Dell XCD35 (ZTE Blade) has no problems.
3. The Ace has no problem connecting to an Android AP or my wife's laptop AP.
I reflash and unrooted my phone and basically brought it back to factory settings but no luck.
Tried using other services for using my laptop as an accesspoint - mhotspot, virtual router and connectify - still no luck.
tried static ip - no luck.
reinstalled the MS Virtual Wi-fi Miniport Adaptop driver - no luck.
Somehow, there is a security setting on the laptop that's preventing my phone from connecting to the internet. I think I maybe connected to the network, but access to the internet is restricted.
There are no other features like MAC address binding or anything like for laptop APs.
It's getting really frustrating now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Set your Internet to "Allow other computers to share this Internet connection". Other ideas would be to check/disable your firewall
Wifi connected but not working
My Galaxy ace plus connects fine to wifi network but cannot browse internet or play store. I am using a free public wifi so i dont know about the static ip address. And this problem was from the starting whn i just bought it. So is there any other solution for this problem or not?
I tried everything... I restarted the modem- no luck. I filled in the blank from the advance wifi setting- no luck

Connectify WPA2 not working

Hey guys

When I set up my WPA2 connection and connect to it my phone connects to it but there is no internet connection. Sometimes there is like 5 sec of connection then it goes away. My firewall and anti-virus are disabled.
My iPad and other phones also cant connect.

Hope to understand you correctly.
You have got issues to connect your phone (SGS2), your iPad and other phones to your WLAN (wifi access point, router or what ever)?
Then it seems to be a problem in the configuration of your access point, and not an issue of your SGS2.
Maybe you have enabled MAC address filtering or static IP addresses?!
