| Setting up an Ad Hoc (peer to peer) Wireless Network - Part 1 |
| Friday, May 4, 2007 |
| Overview An Ad Hoc Wireless Network does not need a Wireless Router but it does need a Wireless Adaptor for each participating PC. An Ad Hoc Wireless Network might be suitable for someone with a cable broadband connection to their desktop PC who wants to be able to connect their laptop to the internet and perhaps share files between the two PCs as well. The restriction is that the laptop can only connect to the internet if the desktop PC is running. Any number of PCs can be connected together with an ad hoc wireless network.
Each PC needs a wireless adaptor. In a desktop PC these can be either an internal PCI card or an external USB adaptor. A laptop can also use an external USB adaptor or an external PC Card (PCMCIA) adaptor or can have a factory installed internal card.
One of the PCs needs to have some other network adaptor (ethernet, broadband, Dial-up, Firewire, or even another wireless adaptor) and acts as the Host computer.
If the host computer is connected to the internet through the other adaptor then all the members of the ad hoc wireless network can share that internet connection.
Curiously the network will still work if the host computer is not actually connected to the other network, it just needs to have that network adaptor installed and shared.
The basic procedure is as follows:
a) Install wireless adaptors and drivers in each participating PC
b) Use Windows to configure the wireless network on each PC -give the network the same name and settings on each PC.
c) Switch on Internet Connection Sharing on the host PC.
d) Make sure that each PC is connected to the network correctly by rebooting the wireless connection as necessary
e) When you are happy that the network is working, switch on encryption, starting with the Host PC.
f) Ensure that the Host PC is always switched on first and off last, otherwise the others will get confusedLabels: PC Tips N Tricks and Tweaks |
