Windows 7 Ad hoc problem with iphone

[cboath]

I upgraded to win 7 RC1 and now I can't connect to my iphone via ad hoc. Worked fine with the beta version, but now the phone connects to the ad hoc network but PC shows no connections.

I am dual booting with vista and in vista it works fine as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
