    My problem, which I suspect may be the OPs issue as well, is that my network adapter does not allow for hosted networks. To check this, open cmd and type "netsh wlan show drivers". If it says "Hosted network supported = Yes" then you are good to go and there is a different issue. If it says "no," you need to update your drivers.
