big issue for me with internet sharing

[adj3369]

i've already formatted my phone and had internet sharing working on the official wm6.1 rom. i actually was watching the dark knight for free online last night(shameless plug for my flyness).
but now when i try to connect, my laptop doesnt try to acquire a network address. only until i click disconnect on my mogul with the usb still plugged in then is when my laptop will acquire a network address with mobile device and say connected...

so what i'm saying is the laptop will say connected, even showing packets being sent but the browsers i use(opera and ie) say no connection....does anyone know why i cant connect anymore but then when i hit disconnect on my phone my laptop shows itself beginning to connect?
