Ok, I know how to successfully set up an ad-hoc network.
I'm connected to a wired local connection provided by my apartment complex, and they have strict rules about using a router to broadcast a connection so I have been using the ad-hoc network to connect the internet on my phone (Maybe against their rules too, but I don't care). My computer is showing that I'm connected to my ad-hoc network as well as my phone, the only problem is that my phone won't load up any webpages or show any sign on connectivity. This ad-hoc network was previously working fine for me. I'm using a iPhone 4S and operating on Windows 7, everything was working earlier, so maybe I'm thinking they had blocked the IP of my phone to deny a connection? Any help would be appreciated.
Or is there anything else I can do to share a connection with my iPhone?
I have already checked my services.msc and made sure that the services are automatic and starting as well.
