    Well I'm looking for advice because I'm in a VERY FUN situation right now where my Zune HD doesn't support my networks. Here's the details.

    My college campus uses a WPA2 Enterprise Network. Zune HD supports WPA2, but NOT the Enterprise Encryption, so I can't log on to the school network.

    So I thought.. oh okay. well I'll just share my computers internet connection! Wrong.... The Zune HD doesn't support Ad-Hoc networking... Yup.. I know. State of the ART.

    So What I want to do, is somehow make my PC an Infrastructure Access Point, so it's recognized as a router not just another computer, because Ad Hoc connections don't even show up on my Zune.

    I don't wanna spend $20 on a router either. I'm a cash strapped college student. Looking for free alternatives. xP Thanks!
