Trying to connect two laptops with adhoc wireless network..

Tags: Microsoft, windows xp sp3
I'm trying to set-up an adhoc wireless connection between two laptops - the reason being Lapto 1 is connected to the internet via a 3G modem and I want to share the internet with Laptop2.

I set-up the wireless network on Laptop1 and it shows up in "Wireless Connections" fine as a Computer-to Computer secure network.

But unfortunately Laptop2 (and a third laptop I tried) doesn't see the network created on Laptop1.

Any ideas please?
