Solution 1:

As outlined on this forum you have to update the driver from the default to NDIS compatible device:

  • Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
  • Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (NDIS based device)
  • Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
  • Click Browse my computer for driver software
  • Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
  • Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Now you will have two options:
    • Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
    • Remote NDIS Compatible Device chose the second one and it solved the problem
