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.
Note: Ad Hoc mode will not work using DHCP. You must set up static IP addresses (such
as
192.168.0.1)
Windows PC, see the PC Networking Tutorial on the Resource CD.
