Windows 7 cannot find networks

I have Windows 7 Home Premium running on my 6-week-old MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.4)
and all the Parallels 5.0 and Kaspersky updates.

I have Verizon's Wi-Fi Connect software for W7 installed which is supposed to automatically
detect available networks and offer to connect me to them but the pop-up message in the tool tray
never gets past "scanning for networks".

I have no problem connecting to wi-fi networks on the Mac side but Verizon's Wi-Fi Connect
software is presently Windows-only and is needed to authenticate and connect to networks
available to me as a Verizon customer.

Is there some setting in Windows 7 I've got to adjust? I've got Sharing selected in the Networks
part of Configuration.
 
Followup

A friend of a friend works somewhere in Verizon IT and came up with this from Google:

here is a solution somebody gave
The same thing happened to me, and I went into the Network Preferences in my mac, got the IP address from Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP and then I went into my Parallel - Guest internet setting, changed the configure to Using DHCP with manual address, and entered the Airport IP address there.

I searched for my IP address but there was none, perhaps because my laptop was at home and connected via an Ethernet cable (I don't have a wireless network set up at home, even on the Mac side)
