This may require knowledge of both OS X and Windows 7, but I didn't know where else to ask...

I'm trying to share my MBP's Wireless (airport) internet connection to my Windows 7 PC via ethernet cable. I've turned on internet sharing and selected "Share Internet from Airport" to computers using "Ethernet" in System Preferences>Sharing.

On the PC end, it doesn't work though. (surprise!) Network Sharing Center indicates a connection, but the network is Unidentified, and there is "No internet access." Most of the info I've found online refers to sharing via wireless, which I cannot do, as my PC doesn't have a wireless adapter.

Is there some menu where I need to input further data or something? I'm pretty lost.
