Problem with original ROM and wifi tethering

I rooted my Hero today which runs the latest HTC ROM. There were no problems and it now works fine to run apps as root. Though I can't get wifi tethering to fully work. The computer connects fine, receives an IP address but doesn't get any Internet connection - the gateway can't be pinged. This happens both with Wireless Tether and aNetShare.
I wonder if it has to with the HTC ROM? Has anyone else gotten it to work with this ROM? I really would like to continue using it as I've gotten everything configured just as I want it and this is the only obstacle right now.

Wifi tether issues using SR 2.0

Been having issues all along getting wifi tethering to work properly, I've had success sharing the connection over USB, I don't care if it gives me a single user tether or an mobile wifi hotspot, I just need it to connect with my lenovo x201.
It's a rooted incredible with the latest build of skyraider, I did the leaked OTA radio update to get that, which I assumed would fix this issue... guess not!
The laptop recognizes the network, but is now getting stuck at identifying, sometimes it will get an IP address assigned but will display no internet access (this is windows 7 ultimate)
Anyone else able to replicate this issue or know of a potential fix? I've tried several of the solutions for other wifi problems I found around the web and here (where applicable)

Do other devices connect with your home WiFi router? If doesn't then its likely your router is broken. If does then try resetting your router.

I have the same problem as yours. My galaxy jb 4.1.2 not work with home wifi. ..in office it works well with all wifi routers.
My laptop and other desktop connect very well with home wifi. Galaxy s3 always said connecting. .contacting. ...
I think the problem is with the security type with wifi router/modem. My home wifi set to wep security.
Try to change security type of your wifi router then tell us it works or not.
On ics it works fine but in jelly bean it never work.

[Q] My Nexus 4 conect in Wi-Fi but don't access web

Guys, recently bought a Nexus 4 and it normally connects via wifi but can not connect.
I was using the Android 4.2.2 OTA updated to Android 4.3 and the problem persists.
The Nexus 4 connects normally, but the icons of wifi connection and carrier signal are gray instead of blue and even trying to install applications via Google Play or simply access a site via browser do not work and accuse the connection fails.
I was tested and the router's signal is good and other equipment that I usually work (other Android smartphones and notebook).
My router is standard G and I use WPA2.

Oddly enough, I have the Nexus just 3 days and only had access to the router so far from home, but today I'll look for a router to test the public.
But either way it's frustrating the Nexus 4 have these compatibility issues when connecting to a wifi router.
Before making the switch router, is it not possible to find out which configuration of WLAN could cause this? Does Google do not have this documented?

i feel your pain, been there
it could be your router, from the way it assigns ip addresses to your type of encryption. by any chance is it a linksys G router? that was my problem before until i just decided to get an N router.
did you try switching to WEP or open to see if the problem persists? or changing your gateway ip address? or changing which ch your wifi is on?
never hurts to try

Should factory reset your router and upgrade firmware first, then immediately connect to it without encryption and see if it work.

Same issue here. Im using CM12.1, then I installed Orbot and runs as service. Portable hotspot did run OK with VPN running. This morning after I reboot my device, suddenly other device can't connect to hotspot (very long connecting progress). After I remove Orbot, it fixed.
Another solution can be read HERE that may comply to your issue.
