wi fi - Tethering an Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) using Wifi

I'm trying to get tethering to work. I've used the built-in functionality, setup my phone as an AP and connected to the wireless network.

I get an IP (192.168.43.26) and I can ping the gateway (192.168.43.1), I also got a dns server (192.168.43.1). However, I can't access the internet (e.g. surf or ping 8.8.8.8).

Any ideas on what may be wrong?

netstat -r (restricted to en1, the wireless interface)

Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire

Some more info

• Using WPA2 Personal (since I can ping the phone/gateway/router I should be beyond the encryption layer in the OSI model, so I don't think encryption is the problem)


• Wireless AP


• No third-party tethering (using native)


• Samsung Galaxy


• No custom ROM


• Don't know if it's rooted (I guess the fact that I don't know means it isn't)
