Is the laptop connected via cable or 3g.

Googling returned many options when it comes to what software you can use.

Otherwise I found this on LifeHacker.

There are a lot of articles on that matter.

Excellent stuff. Wonder why MS doesn't make this standard like smart devices do.

Used Virtual Router Plus. Works very well with Mobile broadband 3G+ on windows 8.1. Thanks a lot User: Deadmanza and everyone else for your contributions. Just make sure to set your mobile broadband connection settings to shared with Virtual router plus' connection.
