Starting a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Network Connection

1. On the Settings tab page of the Smart Wizard, select or type the Network Name (SSID).

2. Select the Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) network type.

3. Click Initiate Ad Hoc. The Ad Hoc Setting dialog box opens:

4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) for your

Ad Hoc computer-to-computer network.

5. In the Channel field, Automatic should work.

6. Click OK.

The Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter automatically selects the highest connection speed.

Note: If you cannot connect, see “Removing the Software” in Chapter 1. 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: If there is interference from another nearby wireless device, use the Networks

tab page to see which channels are in use in your area. Then use a different

channel. For example, if your neighbors use channel 6 and the signal strength

is strong, then channels 4-8 would probably be poor choices for you.
