I'm unable to connect to Internet when using Android WiFi hot-spot (I'm able to connect to hot-spot, but not able to access Internet).

When I use a WiFi router Internet works fine. In chrome I get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG error.

I tried removing /etc/resolv.conf, updating DNS server addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's public dns). But no luck with these.

Did anyone face similar issue? If so, Is there a solution for this problem?

System details:
Ubuntu 14.04 on HP pavilion laptop.
Ralink wireless driver.
