Starting a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Network Connection

Figure 2-8
4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11a, 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 USB 2.0 Adapter automatically selects the highest connection speed.
