my sister is using Acer laptop, that has an intel WLAN card and supports windows hosted network(checked in command prompt).Am using the basic way using netsh wlan command
also, then am using netsh start wlan command.The hosted network gets created and it could b seen in "Network and Sharing Center" as the .

I also went to Device manager, selected WLan card, made sure"allow this device to wake computer from sleep" is selected.

Now I went to the newly created , clicked properties, and under sharing enabled allow this to be shared(but I am not able to select The name of the wifi my sis wants to share (in this case her college wifi name, LEts say QP4,Ethernet and Local Area connection are the only two option that are coming).

Also the SSID name is not being shown in her mobile nor when I click the tower icon at the tray area,Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?She is using windows 8.

Should I look for updated drivers? Her laptop is only 6 months old, i don't think the drivers are outdated.
Any advice shall be appreciated.
