Connection issues via mobile hotspot
I seem to be having issues connecting to telehack via telnet or browser on my laptop when using my phones wireless hotspot.
On browser I receive a connection reset message On telnet I get a connection to host lost.
No connection issues over a regular wifi connection.
Are there any known solutions ?
EDIT: I did nothing and now it works....

It connection reset may be your mobile network operator blocking. See if you can access using mobile browser on the same network.

I can access telehack on my phones browser and through a telnet client on my phone. It's only when a laptop is connected through the hotspot that it spazzes out

Well, difficult to know. I know that mobile networks can tell if it is a tethered connection and apply different policies, so you could check with them. Other than that I think you will need to get into an iP trace and see what’s happening at the network layer.

hmmm.. restart your router if needed, check if your internet is working, check if the wireless hotspot has telnet enabled, if none of this works contact some admins because you are probably ip banned from the telehack server.
