Useful article 🙂

Jack B.

Ad hoc wireless computer-to-computer networks plus Internet sharing saved my life last week when I was stuck in an apartment with Time Warner Cable (which doesn’t allow you to use non-approved wireless routers). Turned my EEE PC running Windows 7 into a router and hopped on the Internet with my Macbook. It was splendid.

Please help me. Everytime i create a new set up a new connection or network, the message “It might take up to 90 seconds seconds for unconfigured device on your network to appear” is always displayed. But no Option for “Set up a wireless ad hoc” is appears. Please help me. BTW, i am using Windows 7 Starter. thanks!

I don’t think Windows 7 Starter includes the functionality required for you to create ad-hoc networks.

hi

go to device manager (in control panel) and then click on network adapters. see which one is yellow and then right click and select “enable”. probably your wireless network adapter is disabled.

How do the 2nd computer be named? How does it be identified by the first computer which we entered as WPA2-Personal?

I successfully managed to get Home Network profile by manually assigning IP to both my laptops.After creating Adhoc network as usual disconnect and manually assign IP to both laptop.
PC 1: 192.168.1.101, Subnet mask:255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.102
PC 2: 192.168.1.102, Subnet mask:255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.1.101
This give me Home Network everytime, no more Public Network.
I think of this from XP adhoc configuration.
But what if I want to add more pc to my network cause there will be problem in default gateway then,right???
