Thanks Aki.

@Brian Yes I have provided the proxy server address + port. That's why I had to add a static route on the laptop so the iPad could connect to the proxy server (running on the laptop) because Safari on the iPad could not contact the proxy.

I have always noted the same, only that I never ask questions as long as the setup delivers the promise to the client.

Tiny question - Is  there somewhere on the Ipad you have put the IP of the proxy(windows)?
I have been in a network where there were no IPs on the machines. Just proxy settings for windows (which chrome also uses) & on firefox browser, and browsing was OK.
The only thing is that you can't do much beyond browse unless a particular application/software uses the proxy as well to connect to the internet.
Essentially if you are using a proxy you don't have to be in the same network.
