Windows 7: Ad-hoc network to share internet option missing.

Windows 7 question: when I try to set-up adhoc network to share internet I don't get option to choose share internet or not which I do get on my Vista laptop. Though I am successfully able to share internet connection from vista to windows7. Just to add on normal sharing is fine (folders or files). But could be missing or configured wrongly on win7 machine that I can't share my internet connection.
Answer
Answer

Is your laptop running Windows 7 Starter edition?

If so you need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium at a minimum in order to be able to setup an ad hoc host or use Connectify or Virtual Router.
