This can be done by first enabling the "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter". I know some wireless card are not compatible with this, but if yours is compatible just follow this steps and your up and going...


In able to do this for Windows 7, click Start button / All Programs / Accessories and search for Command Prompt.

Then right click "Command Prompt" and click "Run as administrator"

For Windows 8 just type "cmd" on search box.

Then right click "Command Prompt" and click "Run as administrator"

Once its open, type the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=xxxx key=xxxx


and press Enter

Note: Replace SSID (whatever you like to name your shared network)
and key (must be at least 8 characters - this will serve as password for the network)
