USB Tethering with WIndows 8

I have a Galaxy S3 and a Samsung Series 5 ultrabook.  I could use my phone via USB tether for internet/data access when the pc was running Win7 but now that I have upgraded to Win8, it no longer works.  The computer and phone connect OK but I can't get internet access. Help?

As per the query, it seems like you are unable to tether Samsung Android Galaxy S3 to the Samsung laptop running Windows 8.

 

 

I would recommend you to turn on metered connection and check.
