Reply to OS X Ad Hoc network issues with Android

I've recently gotten a google nexus 7 and I've been trying to get touchosc set up with my macbook pro so I can use it as a midi controller in traktor, however I can't seem to get connected to the network. The ad hoc network I created doesn't show up in the available networks, nor does it appear on my flatmate's tablet, also running on android. It does however show up on his iphone.

I know I must be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to find anyone with similar problems online. If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it.

Cheers in advance

EDIT: Apparently Android doesn't support connecting to ad hoc networks by default (which seems a little weird, but it seems right).
