If you're using the Canopy to NAT, its default IP is 169.254.1.1. That's the
same block of IPs used by Windows for DHCP link-local addresses (
169.254.0.0/16). Windows 7 refuses to route traffic out through a link-local
address.
Solution: change your Canopy's internal IP from the default 169.254.1.1 to
something like 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (basically, one of the proper RFC1918
blocks).
