Instacheck Hotspot -- a fast Pokémon checker for XY

Found a regedit free way of doing this early in the thread!!!
Go to Start, Search, and type in services.msc
Go down to WLAN Auto Config, double click it to open
Under Startup Type, select Automatic
Under Service Status, Click the Start button
It was in portuguese but I found it.
The Startup was already Automatic and it had already Started.
I stopped it and changed it, then returned it to the settings you told me. However, the problem is still the same.
"(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070425)"
Argh.
What did the CMD prompt say when you did step #3?
Does your NCPA.CPL look the same as mine in step #5?
Sophie's steps:
Step 1) Download and install WinPCap
If this fails or gives you an error, please see step #1A at the bottom of the post for NIC issuesStep 2) Download and unzip Instachecker
Step 3) Open the CMD prompt with administrator privileges.
Easiest way for Vista+7 users to do this is typing CMD into the search bar in the start menu. Windows 8 users just need to go to their main tile page and type CMDStep 4) Open Instachecker
Once you've open the command prompt you need to enable hosted networking by typing"
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
****If you see anything other then whats below, please skip to step #1A at the bottom of the post
Enter a Network Name (SSID) and a Password for the virtual network you'll be connecting your 3DS to. Where it says "Shared Connection" you'll want to ensure that you've choose whatever physical wireless adapter is called. See step #5 if you're unsure or can't locate it OR if you get an errorStep 5) Verify network adapters are enabled
Then "Start Hotspot" you should get confirmation that this Virtual network is working,
Use the same method to access the command prompt. Windows Vista+7 users please search for "NCPA.CPL" in the start bar, and Windows 8 users can just type that in the tile screen.
This will show you a list of your network adpaters. A succesful configuration will look exactly like mine. With both your physical and virtual networks enabled
If you do not see a "Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter" (I renamed mine 'Pokechecker' but as default it was called Wireless Network 2) then you'll need to right click on your physical wireless adparter and 'enable' it. A few moments after that the virtual network should appear. If not then you probably need to go back to Steps # 1 and # 3
Step 6) Set-up and Connect on the 3DS
Step 7) Load Pokemon and connect to the Internet
One thing to keep in mind while doing this, is you must have the Virtual network above your usual home wifi network on the connection list, or the 3DS will pick the wrong network. My home network is "SHAW-EE54BE" so I've placed PokeChecker above it.
If the test passes and connect to the Internet - Proceed to step # 7
If the test fails to connect to the access point - Verify the network is enabled in step # 6 then verify you entered in the right SSID / Password
If the test connects to the access point but not the Internet - This is usally caused by the scan being started early... so you weren't following my steps!! >:[ Just kidding! Try to connect again, if it fails twice please restart your computer and repeat steps # 4 (you may need to do #3 again if the hotspot gives you the error "The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation")
Step 8) Select your Virtual Network and "Start Scanning"
Step 9) Profit!
Start a trade and it should now be displaying the stats for any pokemon "shown" in a trade
Step 1A) If you encounter any errors trying to enable hosted networks in the CMD prompt and you're sure you did it exactly as instructed, chances are good your wireless NIC does not support this feature. If you feel it worthwhile you can try to updated/reinstall your NIC driver encase it's just an error or out of date.
Hey I followed all of the instructions, but it still does not work for me.

When I go to instacheck there is only one option "ethernet" still.
Arghx2
Can you open CMD and get me a screenshot of all the information displayed when you use the command: netsh wlan show drivers
NeriiFur sorry! i comp lost internet connection, either way, it's only for 2 seconds at most
Close Instacheck. Connect to your wirless network, right now you're connect through ethernet :) Open instacheck, and the wireless option should be in the shared connections. You're pretty close to getting it working!
Sorry, it's in portuguese D: (By the way, Sim is Yes and Não is no)
Ask me if you don't know what it means:
Some people might be confused about this, it only works with computer Internet, not router, unless you have the wireless card so if you're running off a router you need a wireless card or whatever it's called, hope this clears up things
Ahh, I missed your post originally. My apologizes. I'm not seeing any sort of advanced settings.
I feel like I'm missing something super obvious.
Ahh, did my CMD screenshot seem to hint at that? I'm able to enable the hosted networks fine, but trying to start it(both in CMD and Instacheck) will not work. I'm not opposed to purchasing a USB wifi wireless adapter, if you know of one that should work. I just don't want to spend $20+ if it's something else not working as I have the wireless card already.
Can you please go into the control panel and make sure your physical wireless network has sharing enabled:
Okie I did that. Now on Instacheck hotspot shared connection "Wi-fi appears" since I'm connected to my PC through it. I can connect the 3ds to the hotspot, however the same options still appear on insta check:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102586847/instacheck.png So even though I can connect, the program doesn't work, because for some reason it's not detecting the pokechecker hotspot.
Sorry I must have missed your screenshot, one moment.
You could try updating the driver on your wireless card. I don't think that's the problem, but it's nice to have updated drivers(usually).Sorry, it's in portuguese D: (By the way, Sim is Yes and Não is no)
Ask me if you don't know what it means:
That's really strange, especially since the 3DS is connecting.... I think you should try restarting the computer, that seems to help fix the weird hiccups like this :P
I hope you can help me friends:
Already tried everything and nothing solves this problem I'm having, I'm watching the forum early and I can not connect this program, already tried granting access to DOS as some posts have spoken, have also tried to change the network name, however nothing makes this error disappear, also followed what Sophie posted and nothing ... I hope you can help me .. sorry for the bad english, I used a bit of google translator, I'm Brazilian
One Picture for this Stupid error:
