Use a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer to connect to the Internet, or check for

file and printer access on your network. You can check the status bar in the Smart Wizard for

the current connection status.

Setting up a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Profile

The Computer-to-Computer setting uses Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode is an 802.11 networking

framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use

of an access point. For example, this mode is used when two Windows computers are configured

with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them.

Follow the instructions below to create an Ad Hoc mode profile.

1. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard. The Settings page opens:

Note: If you cannot connect, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting. For problems with

accessing network resources, the Windows Client and File and Print Sharing

software might not be installed and configured properly on your computers. See the

link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B.

Note: Ad Hoc mode will not work using DHCP settings. Ad Hoc mode requires either

static IP addresses (such as

192.168.0.1) or the IPX protocol. For instructions on

setting up static IP addresses on a Windows PC, refer to the PC Networking

Tutorial included on the NETGEAR CD.
