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.

a. Select Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) for the Network Type.

b. Select or enter the Network Name (SSID) for the Ad Hoc network.

c. In the Profile box, type the name of the profile.

d. Click Apply

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.
