I've recently followed this tutorial "" to set up a hotspot on my Windows 8.1 Laptop, everything went according to the tutorial and there were no errors. Other devices can easily see the network I just set up but the problem comes with actually trying to connect to it. It doesn't work. I did this so I could have a wifi signal for my Nintendo Switch but upon trying to connect, after a few seconds of trying to connect, it fails with the error "Unable to obtain IP address". I tried to connect on my iphone but it would just constantly try to connect and after a while say "No internet connection" underneath the network name. Anyone have any ideas to help? Thanks.
