Cant use an Ad Hoc network when an internet connection is being shared
I have having a random problem with my computer (it's an Acer laptop) in regards to sharing internet connections. I have never had a problem with creating or connecting to an Ad Hoc network when the internet connection was being shared but after I had made an update to the graphics card (and possibly another update was carried through at the same time, i'm not entirely sure) i haven't been able to do it.
I can't select the option to share the internet connection when i'm setting up the network like i have always been able to do and when i try to connect to a network which is sharing it's internet connection, i get an error in regards to the adapter not working correctly but when a network from the same computer is made without an internet connection i can connect just fine and i don't understand what the problem is.
I don't know if this is relevant or not but i also bought a bluetooth usb stick so that i can use my wireless headphones with my laptop and it does have wireless networking options but i disabled them when i was trying to solve the problem.
My wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Network Adapter.
