USB Tethering not working

I'm having problem with USB tethering on my Xperia J. It won't connect to internet.

I have an Xperia Mini as well, USB tethering is working fine. Is it possible that because I used Xperia Mini for USB tethering before, so the USB tethering function on Xperia J is affected?

I'm using Windows 8. I've tried the troubleshoting and get this:

"Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adapter."

As I can noticed from the network connections, the driver for Xperia J tethering is called "Remote NDIS based internet sharing" compared with "Sony Ericsson sa0102 Remote NDIS based internet sharing" on Xperia Mini. Why the USB tethering driver for my Xperia J does not bear the name "Sony"?

I've tried to open the device manager on Windows, uninstall the driver and then scan for hardware changes, but I get the same driver, "Remote NDIS based internet sharing" back. I've also tried to uninstall Sony PC Companion and reinstall, but I'm still failed to get the USB tethering to work. How should I solve this problem?

I have solved the problem myself. Go to device manager, update the driver from remote NDIS based internet sharing driver to Sony Ericsson sa0102 remote NDIS based internet sharing, then restart.
