It's not unusual for corporate laptops to be set up to not allow connections to ad hoc networks (what MyWi creates) for security reasons.
Open the Properties page for your wireless connection in Control Panel, click on the Wireless Networks tab, click on Advanced in the lower right. This will show 3 radio buttons which describe the kind of wireless networks you can connect to. I can select ad hoc, but GPOs prevent this change from being saved.
NOTE: This is on a WindowsXP laptop.

Maybe he knows exactly how to get it working, but he won't because you refer to him as your IT dork.
Also, OP, many of us here are non-IT dorks. Insulting us by lumping us in with the IT crowd, will not get us non-IT dorks to help you.
It is so unbelievable that three people can overreact to much to someone trolling them on the internet.
