I created a Wifi network with my Mac and I could see it on Windows 7 as well as connect to it but when I launch my browser it doesn't work: server not found.

Can Windows 7 work with Mac OS X's Wifi or did I miss something?

I tried the other way round it doesn't work either :(

Are you just creating an Adhoc Wifi Network or using Mac OS X's Internet Sharing? – Chealion Aug 15 '10 at 19:35
@Chealion I can't see the difference in Sys Prefs. The only thing worth noting are the password schemes allowed, I believe Internet Sharing doesn't allow WPA2. – tobylane Mar 21 '11 at 20:51
@tobylane: Yes, there is a difference in terms of types of passwords - Internet Sharing also turns on NAT and DHCP. – Chealion Apr 5 '11 at 7:14

It should just work fine. Check if the WiFi connections on both Windows and the Mac are granted access to be shared the internet connection with.
