Windows Vista unable to use Internet Sharing through a MacBook

This was working just fine until the Leopard 10.5.6 update a couple of days ago so I'm trying to sort out what is going on.

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?

Whe you are connected, can you post the output of the command ipconfig /all (you have to run the command in a CMD box).

Click start, in the search field type "cmd", press enter.
In the black CMD box, type "ipconfig /all"
Copy/paste (with the right mouse button, use mark) all information it gives regarding the wireless lan adapter. No need to copy all those dummy tunnel adapters.

I don't have that handy, but I can tell you that it is definitely acquiring an IP address from the MacBook with the proper gateway and subnet.

If you need more than that, I can snag it tomorrow.
