I want to use my internet connection on my laptop to connect to my smart tv via a cable as I don't have a wifi dongle for the tv. Is this possible? The laptop has loaded the driver software for the tv but nothing happens.

[strike]Are you connecting with an HDMI cable? Does the HDMI cable you are using support ethernet? Not all do.[/strike]

Are you using a VIA cable, or do you mean via a cable?

He says the TV doesnt support wifi from what it seems.

I don't know too much about hdmi ethernet/smart TVs but ik another thing is that your laptop hdmi port may not support hdmi ethernet(if this is how you are connecting.) You'll have to look that up to check if that is the problem, or you can reply with your laptop brand and model and I can find out for you.
