    It didn’t work with my Galaxy Y phone nor my Kindle. I had to install one of those “virtual routers” for windows 7 and then could share internet on my portable devices.
    I think most portable devices don’t support ad hoc wireless connection (as my Kindles’s reported when tried to connect) and that’s why they’d made such programs to emmulate a router.
    It does not work with most portable devices, it may work for example with a PSP (which supports peer to peer wi fi connection), so you have to download a program to get it working.

    Hi! As I follow your steps and when I click “Turn on internet sharing” option I get a message as follows: “You don’t have enough privileges to turn on Internet sharing”. But I am working with the administrator user account. Why is it happening like this.
