I have a laptop with Fedora 14 installed. It is connected to internet with a static ip over LAN (eth0 interface) through my institute's proxy server. My roommate has a laptop with windows xp installed.
I want my linux system to create a wireless network such that my roommate's windows system can connect to internet through my system. I have already tried many ways but unable to get it done. I made use of following links.

However, the xp machine sees the wireless network but cannot connect to it. It keeps on trying to connect but after sometime it gives up.
Please help.
