Jul 15, 2012 12:01 AM in response to askrueger1981by modular747,Not enough info in your post. If you're using your iPhone to create a hotspot, what are you trying to connect to the hotspot and exactly how did you connect (WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB)? Where did you see a "local only" message?

Jul 15, 2012 12:06 AM in response to modular747by askrueger1981,I am trying to connect my laptop to my iPhone's hotspot, using my laptop's Wi-Fi connection. I am seeing the 'local only' message when I mouse over the connection icon on my laptop. When I try to go to a webpage, I am getting a 'DNS lookup failed' message from Google Chrome.
