1. Configure a Wireless Client to Ad hoc mode

Ad hoc Introduction
What is Ad Hoc mode?
Ad hoc mode is a wireless network consists of a number of stations without
access points. Without using an access point or any connection to a wired
network, a client unit in Ad hoc operation mode can communicate directly to
other client units just as using a cross over Ethernet cable connecting 2 host
together via a NIC card for direct connection when configured in Ad hoc mode
without an access point being present. Ad hoc operation is ideal for small
networks of no more than 2-4 computers. Larger networks would require the
use of one, or perhaps several, access points.
Configuration for Wireless Station A

card please follow the following step.
Step 1: Double click on the utility icon in your windows task bar the utility will
