4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11b, or 802.11g) for your Ad Hoc
computer-to-computer network.
5. In the Channel field, Automatic should work.
Note: If there is interference from another nearby wireless device, use the Networks
tab page to see which channels are in use in your area. Then use a different
channel. For example, if your neighbors use channel 6 and the signal strength
is strong, then channels 4-8 would probably be poor choices for you.
6. Click OK. The Wireless Adapter automatically selects the highest connection speed.
