I'm trying to set up ad hoc internet sharing in my apt until I can get a router. I checked the "allow this computer to share it's connection" box (or whatever it said exactly) and set up the SSID and all that while checking the "this is an ad hoc network" box and it starts broadcasting. The other computer in the room can detect the host computer. But...once this happens, the host computer can no longer use the internet and the other computer can't connect to the host computer. I seem so close. What am I missing?
