Where does your HP laptop get the internet connection from? Typically, a WiFi card can only connect to one network at a time so if the laptop is getting its connection through WiFi, it's not able to re-broadcast using the same radio. If your laptop is connecting to a WiFi network, why not just connect the phone to that same network?
