Tethering Nexus 4 to Windows 7

I'm trying to tether my Nexus 4 to my PC (using WiFi), but Windows keeps saying "Limited Access" and the internet doesn't work. Tethering works perfectly with other devices including a Nexus 7 and Chromebook, so I assume it's down to a configuration problem on the PC.
I've had a quick look on Google and apparently the "Limited Access" error is common and will usually resolve itself after a few minutes, but I've left it for over half an hour and still have the problem
What could be the issue?
Thanks!

I tried an old Windows 7 laptop yesterday which successfully connected to the Nexus so it must be a configuration problem on the PC, I just can't find out what it is.
My Sky Broadband speed has gone down following a line fault and is now only 1.2mbps, so being able to tether to 3 would be handy for things like large downloads or HD YouTube videos. It already works brilliantly with the laptop/tablets.
You should check your built-in adapter is set to automatic addressing and not some old settings for a previous network that are incompatible with your phone.
