There are no other preconditions. If the laptop can connect with the
hotspot, it should have internet access as well as long as the
smartphone is connected to the internet.

Maybe you installed some kind of firewall app or other "security" tools?

Did you change your mobile network provider or plan? Sometimes plans may
not allow using tethering, although I've not seen this for many years.
