    Hello,

    I have been making 'ad-hoc' networks for the past 2 days without any problems. Ad-hoc networks are for computers to communicate to one another and is hosted by another computer with a wireless card.

    Basically, I am usually plugged into the internet with an ethernet cable, then create an ad-hoc network and press "Share Internet Connection" upon creating the new network. However, for some reason after waking up today, the button is gone, and it's not just a graphical error because I tried clicking in the blank space and there is nothing there.

    The window is as big as it is normally and there is an abnormally huge gap of where the button to share ICS would normally be. Can someone explain to me how to enable this manually, or to get the button to appear once again? I already tried out Windows Live Help, but it's pretty much useless because it does address the issue I am having. It simply assumes I have the option available to me.

    What in the world is going on?! I am so confused, this is so random. I hate this dumb operating system, it's so unreliable.
