First make sure with your operator that your subscription includes support for tethering. You may also need to change the internet settings in the phone for tethering to work. Go to Settings -> More -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names -> [your internet settings] and check with your operator that you have correct settings here for tethering.

As mentioned above APN settings is fine and internet in mobile and through USB tethering works fine in same laptop.

my operator support for tethering.

is there anything specific to sony xperia tethering APN configuration that is required to be checked from operator end?

So if you connect your phone to this computer using a cable tethering works? In that case i recommend that you check the IP-settings for your computers wireless network card. This is usually done from Control panel -> Network connections -> [properties for your WiFi-card] -> [properties for TCP/IPv4]. Here check that it's set to automatic IP and DNS.

I just changed the APN to the other defualt one which was already there and it worked like a charm.

Its very simple cause I have just had the same problem with my Sony experia 64. Just go to Settings >Mobile Networks > APN settings then ignore the already installed settings and set up a new APN according to your service provider. Then make use of the new APN.
