1Yes, I can, after an OS update two or three months ago. However, it may depend on whether your phone carrier service has enabled it. Look in Settings. – paradroid Oct 25 '12 at 23:06

@paradroid I didn't find out a settings named carrier service . Is it directly under settings menu? – Nithesh Narayanan Oct 26 '12 at 4:56

What I mean by carrier is your phone company. In Settings, I have Internet Sharing, between Bluetooth and email+accounts. – paradroid Oct 26 '12 at 15:48
The option was originally disabled by Nokia, although they did recently enable it -- if you haven't done so recently, connect via Zune and install any updates if you have any.
Wi-Fi sharing is in the settings menu, under "Internet Sharing".
For best results, only use with the phone on external power - even if that is the laptop you're providing power from is running on battery.
