I have a broadband connection through my ISP (Hathway), using a cable modem. I wish to share the internet connection to my laptop, and the phone.

Refer to this configuration guide at Wireless hotspot configuration and internet browsing

As of now, my laptop and phone are able to detect the WiFi hotspot and able to connect. But I am unable to browse / connect to the internet.

When I set up this connection, I see that it requires the DNS for the ISP, which I do not know. How do I set up domain-name-servers if I have a DHCP based IP address from the service provider.

Secondly, can the IP address of the hotspot be the DNS ?

one option is making a shared conetion between your pc and laptops,

  1. on pc that share conection (server) ckick on network icon and make a new conection put some pass type and pass
  2. in client , find the new network and conect it, entering the same pass on server

, but this type somte timees is not compatible with androids phone,(have to download some app and root your phone... here more info and pics

other option is installing ap-hotspot, this way it's more compatible with androids phones, but some card networks isn't compatible, and then you have to enter it manually.

  1. open a terminal and write sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

    press enter

    sudo apt-get update

    press enter

    sudo apt-get install ap-hotspot

  2. now write sudo ap-hotspot startand if your card support AP mode you can configure network name and password
