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

The computer-to-computer setting of the WG511v2 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.

Note: If you cannot connect, see Chapter 5, “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. Please refer to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:” on

page -1.
