Do not select it first. Before selecting it, enter into config details by tapping on the hotspot name.
Select IP address type and set it to Static. In the next screen set IP = 192.168.0.2 (subnet 255.255.255.0).
Now start the internet connection in Laptop and find the DNS server details by ipconfig/all command.
Enter the same DNS server IPs in the Wave (below static IP details) and set the Gateway IP = 192.168.0.1.

After all the settings are done, Select this Wifi and the green colour tick mark will appear). At this point of time the Hotspot should also
show aquiring network address in your Laptop and finally show Connected !
Now you can ping your phone IP (192.168.0.2) from your Laptop.

Remember: You do not need any Connection profiles (like the GPRS connection profiles e.g., VOdafone Live etc.), so you need not setup any
new connection profile.
DELSELECT Connectivity>"Use packet Data" so that you do not use GPRS anymore.

Now you can straightaway browse internet from Dolphin browser / TikiSurf Browser / Run Samsung Apps / Go to Games&More > and run Opera Mini
From every application , you can access internet w/o GPRS, just using your laptop's shared Wifi internet !!
