Exclamation [q] nand wifi trouble

Hi all,
Currently using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.4 CM7 Sense.s NAND on my HTC HD2 and I am having trouble with my wi-fi. When I set up an adhoc wireless network from my laptop and try to connect to it from my phone, I tap the network and tap connect but all it does is make a copy of the wireless network underneath it and say not in range. Any ideas?
