Network Connections and Wireless Security 2-7

v2.0, February 2007

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.

To create an Ad Hoc mode profile:

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

2. Enter the network settings.

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.

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

Note: Ad Hoc mode will not work using DHCP. You must set up static IP addresses (such

192.168.0.1) or the IPX protocol. For help setting up static IP addresses on a

Windows PC, see the PC Networking Tutorial on the Resource CD.
