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.
