This fixed my issue. I forgot to share my wifi to hostednetwork.

To share you wifi with hostednetwork;-

• go to network adapter settings
• right-click on your default wifi adapter
• click on properties
• go to sharing tab
• check on allow other user to connect to this computer
• in drop down menu select your hostednetwork

Solution 2

Sometimes DHCP on windows Ad-Hoc takes too long to assign IP address or sometimes it fails to do so.

So if DHCP is not working properly, use static IP on the client side.

Type ipconfig in command prompt and find the IP address of an interface named Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter.

Now, in the client system, use that IP as the default gateway and give the client IP address with first 3 fields same as the default gateway and giving a different number in the 4th field.

eg:

Default Gateway : 192.168.43.1
IP Address of client : 192.168.43.3

Solution 3

You can try using a static IP address in Phone Wifi settings. Try the following settings.

IP Address: 192.168.137.2
Gateway: 192.168.137.1
DNS1: 8.8.8.8
DNS2: 8.8.4.4 

Solution 4

The following procedure worked for me (windows 8.1)

1) Disable Internet Connection Sharing from your modem connection -> properties -> Sharing Tab

2) Enable it again.

3) Disconnect from the Internet.

4) Reconnect again

5) Restart ICS service from the "services.msc" window.

6) Stop the hostednetwork

7) Start the hostednetwork

8) Internet Sharing is now enabled and everything gets resolved.

Also make sure there's no firewall interfering with the dishing out of dhcp addresses. superuser.com/questions/867394/…
