4. Verify wireless connectivity to your network.
Verify connectivity by using 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.
Note: If you cannot connect, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting. Also, 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. Refer to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” on
page B-1.
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.
