• Cannot create an Ad - hoc network

  I can't run an Ad - hoc network.
  I ' ts not an option in my settings if I want to start a new network.

  So, if I type adhoc in my Start menu, I get 'een ad-hocnetwerk (computer naar) instellen"translated, from an ad hoc network.
  When I click it I get a message "of windows wordt niet uitgevoerd wireless service" Troubleshooting translated, the windows wireless service is not running.

  After that, it shows that there is no problem and redirects me here.

  If anyone knows why I can't start an Ad - hoc network?

  created an ad hoc network on Windows 7 Home premium machine.  When the password was presented by the XP machine at home, the message: "the network password must be 40 bits or bit 140 according to your network configuration.  This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Do not know how to proceed.  Advice requested

  MNewsome salvation,

  I suggest that you download and install the latest drivers for the network adapter on the computer to the adapter manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

• If I enable security on an ad hoc network, my Windows 7 client cannot recognize the network at all.

  XP host and client windows 7 on ad - hoc network...
  Dear friends, I have set up an ad hoc network between two laptops. The host is running on xp sp3 and the client is running windows 7.
  Now the problem is that if I enable security on the network, the client windows 7 cannot recognize the network at all.
  If I turn off security on the network ad-hoc, everything works fine and I can share files and access the internet on client... Please help

  Ok

  Now, I'm pretty sure that I understand your game up. Well done to get the internet connection, sharing of work (not a simple process) but without encryption.

  I am sure that the problem lies in the Windows 7 laptop (laptop 2). When you switch cell 1 to WEP, you must also pass portable 2 to WEP and provide the WEP key you have configured with laptop 1.

  It's getting late here now, but I'll try to answer tomorrow after I have test it on my two laptops to Windows 7. In the meantime maybe I can point you in the right direction...

  • Right-click the the small icon at the bottom right of your screen on laptop network 2 and then click on Open Network and Sharing Center
  • In network and sharing Center, click on manage networks wireless (nearby at the top left)
  • Click Add, and follow the wizard to create an ad hoc network, selecting WEP and providing the encryption key you configured on the notebook 1
  • Save the network so that you do not have to repeat this procedure.

  Otherwise, when you get to manage wireless networks, if your ad hoc network is already listed...

  • Right-click in your ad hoc network, and then click Properties
  • Click the Security tab
  • Change it to WEP and provide the encryption key
  • Click OK

  Good luck, I will pick up this new after my drowsiness.

• Vista cannot create a ad - hoc connection if not connected to a router

  Summary

  I am trying to create an ad - hoc between my iPhone and my VISTA laptop connection. It works as long as my laptop is connected to the router. If I disconnect I can not create the ad hoc network more (error message "Windows cannot setup ").

  What I'm trying to accomplish

  Get a wireless connection between my iphone and my VISTA laptop without a router or wireless access point. Basically, I use my iPhone as a webcam, connected to the laptop, where an application processes the data stream. I do it in different places, without internet access.

  Detailed problem description

  VISTA not connected to a network

  1. open the network and sharing Center

  2. click on "set up a connection or network.

  3. click on "Configuration of the wireless ad-hoc (computer to computer).

  4. click on "next".

  5 network name 'ad - hoc test 1', type of security: no authentication (Open), click "next".

  6. Windows returns : "Windows could not set up ad-hoc test 1.

  If I repeat the same procedure with my laptop connected to the router (wired or wireless)... It works without any problem.

  Any ideas what could be the problem and how to solve!

  A big thank you and a happy new year 2011

  Emanuel

  Hello

  The iPhone needs to be configured for Ad - Hoc with a different IP address like 192,168.1.6

  Perhaps this page can provide better instructions on a different route.

• I can't create an ad hoc network. Although activation of the ics, another computer does not have internet access.

  After you enable ics, then also internet sharing can't.
