    Running a wireless network between my Acer 6920G(Win 7) and my Dad's Medion desktop(Vista) with a Belkin wireless adapter. Have the network password protected and all that, I thought this was why it wasn't working, it worked for a while when I did this.

    Since then, it's refused to work. No settings have been changed on either computer. Just out of the blue it refuses to work, it gets stuck on identifying.

    It really is disgraceful how awkward it is to get this to work.

    So wait, what isn't working? Your whole internet connection? Wireless Adapter? Sorry, your post wasn't that clear.

    As the thread title suggests, the Internet Connection Sharing.

    I cannot get online off the networked computer. It was working before. Nothing has changed since. It no longer works.
