Our home BSNL broadband has been on the fritz since yesterday. The land-line phone is dead. Airtel 4G on my LG Q6 can do wifi hotspot also, but I preferred to get USB tethering working, since the wifi card on this Lenovo laptop sometimes has issues.
Just connecting the USB cable to the phone and computer, enabling USB tethering on the phone, I get a "Connected" notification on the computer. But "could not find server" errors. Checked and saw that the default setting assigning my phone's IP address as the DNS server. Changed that to Google DNS 8.8.8.8, and the connection works fine. Network connections - Edit the relevant connection - IPv4 tab.
