Big problem whith the last Android Version

I have downloaded the last Android version and my Sony Xperia z2 doesn't allows my laptop Vaio z to connect to Internet through the cellular.
My use of the devices is profesional, so this problem is big and urgent.

Yes,
I called to Vodafone my cell company and help me to make a new APN configuration.Call to your cell company and ask them because many parameters are from each company.
The new android version change the old parameters.
Thanks all people for the others proposals

Hi,

Following up about the APN thing; what worked for me is pretty simple:

Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Options -> Reset to default.

After I did this my tethering and hotspot works fine again.

Hope this can help other frustrated people like myself!

This one could be retitled "No internet access with portable WiFi hotspot tether". After the latest system upgrade, I could not access the internet via my WIN7 notebook when I connected it to the Z2 phone (or Z2 tablet) which was active as a portable WiFi hotspot. A whole day wasted trying to figure it out.

The solution provided is simple and quick. Why Sony doesn't reset the carrier APN to default values instead of mucking everything around beats me.
