Windows Vista unable to use Internet Sharing through a MacBook
Black MacBook sharing out a Sprint broadband modem card.
Windows Vista Professional
Network created on the MacBook, using WEP with an 13 character password. Settings in Vista are allowing it to connect just fine (setting security to "Shared"), but it refuses to obtain anything other than "Local Only" access.
I've done everything I can think of to get this thing going again. Any ideas?

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
