Hi guys,I was trying last night to setup a adhoc wireless network on my laptop(with Vista on it) so that i could enable a friends iphone to connect to internet through it.The laptop is connected to internet via a PPPoE connection.

I have one ethernet connection (through which PPPoE connection is run) and one wireless connection.
So what I did was Right Click on the PPPoE connection in "Manage Network Connections" and went to "Sharing" tab and enabled "Allow other users to connect through this computers internet connection"

However,when I do that, net stops working on my laptop.I can only access google and couple of other sites.

When I disable the "Sharing" option as mentioned above, net works perfectly without any issues. Is something wrong with what I am doing ?

P.S: I am not very good at networking stuff *www.techenclave.com/forums/images/smilies/tongu23e.gif

Thanks..the issue is still unresolved..Netlimiter dint show any thing unusual! However,I managed to setup an ad hoc wireless setup and a proxy server on my laptop and accessed net on iphone through that proxy :D Thanks again!
