Could have. You shouldn't need to add filters. An "ad hoc" network is a
computer-to-computer network; this won't work with your router. I don't
know what the command you typed here will do because you omitted the
actual filter itself (i.e., permission={allow|block| denyall}).

To see how things are configured:
In an account with administrative privileges, open a Command Prompt
window. Then type "netsh show all" [without quotes, press Enter]
Copy/paste the results into your next post.

Or you could delete the profile and start over (but I think you have to
use netsh for this task).

netsh show profiles [to make sure you get the correct ProfileName]

netsh delete profile name=ProfileName
