[Guide] Setting Up a Ad Hoc Connection

Welcome to the Ad Hoc Guide!
By: McDean_Prevails

Ad hoc The connection is established for the duration of one session and requires no base station. Instead, devices discover others within range to form a network for those computers. Devices may search for target nodes that are out of range by flooding the network with broadcasts that are forwarded by each node. Connections are possible over multiple nodes (multihop ad hoc network). Routing protocols then provide stable connections even if nodes are moving around. Sony's PlayStation Portable uses ad hoc connections for wireless multiplayer gaming, as does the Nintendo DS (although Nintendo does not officially use the term). Technically, the Nintendo Game Boy used this method for linking up to each other in a wired (Game Link Cable) or wireless (Game Boy Color IR Port, Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter) mode.


1) First go to your 'Connect To' part in the start menu. Once the below screen has come up, click on 'Set up a Connection or Network'



2) Once the next screen (as shown below) comes up look down the list till you see 'Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network'



3) Now follow the steps that windows displays. Once finished, you will automatically join it. Others can now connect and to do what you wish over ad hoc!
