unable to share wired internet connection wirelessly via ad hocconnection

[yawnmoth]

I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the wired connection and
select the wireless connection frm the drop down menu. I've added a
preferred network, as well, with my own SSID and have checked of the
"This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access
points are not used" thing. I enter the same information in on the
other computer but it doesn't help - I can't connect from that other
computer. I've checked off the "Connect even if this network is not
broadcasting" checkbox, as well, and although (presumably because of
that checkbox) I can see the network, I can't connect to it.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Open internet connections,R.click on the hardware youre trying to use,open,
properties,edit thru all the properties buttons & windows edit as needed..
With D-Link wireless,the connection properties was about 4-5 windows from
the start,you need the right numbers to set for a connection.

Do they both have the same name ?
