What steps did you take to create a network? You have to configure settings in ICS (internet connection settings) and bridge your wired and wireless network adapters. You are running a hardwire to your laptop and then trying to pump out wireless via your laptop correct? If you are trying to make your laptop recieve wifi from router and then retransmit it as a repeater that will not work.

BTW, computer networking cards make horrible routers/access points. You will notice a sharp decline in performance trying to use your computer as a bridge/access point.

Do you not have a router, a laptop is going to do a horrible job of this. frankly a 3g data connection will perfrome equal or better to how lowsey your laptop will do it.

If you want instructions on how to do it then try googling it. I have no issue with helping people figure out where something went wrong, fixing problems, or making expert suggestions. I do however refuse to do simple google searches for people. A simple search of "windows 7 laptop hotspot" should get you numerous instructions on it.
