I have the same problem with my Toshiba laptop. It will connect with my iPhone 5 via wifi. But it doesn't work. No pages load. However it works perfectly fine with my iPad.


One thing you can do as a workaround is connect your iPhone to your laptop using a USB cable. So instead of wifi, you're connected physically via the USB cable. You'll need to disconnect your wifi connection. it works perfectly for me.


It's an annoying issue for sure!


Thanks
