My ad hoc network is not seen by non-Windows devices?

Hello:

I'm running Windows 7 pro 64-bit.

I have an ad-hoc network, running where I take a wired connection and share it via WiFi.

The problem I have is my devices not Windows cannot see the network. Apple, Android, etc., do NOT see the SSID - only Windows boxes. How is what happens. In the network and sharing on other Windows devices Center, the icon for the ad hoc network is also a different icon than other WiFi networks in the region.

Is an ad hoc network, a network of true 802.11? Can I share with other devices other than Windows? Why my other devices cannot see the SSID (only Windows boxes can)?

Thanks for your help!

Hello Chris,

I found this another instance of a question similar to yours:
It seems that the problem lies in him depends on the ability of the devices to connect to an AD - HOC network as they may differ from a standard Wi - Fi routers connection.
You may need to check that your Apple devices and Android phones are able to connect to this type of connection.

  • Sharable desktop to any number (say up to 50) of users in Windows XP and Vista when all are connected to a wireless ad-hoc network? Or is there a limit on the number of users that can be shared? ___Thanks

    Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.

    I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.

    A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you.  Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.

    You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.

    I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.

  • Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

    Hello

    I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Disable the anti-virus software

    Enable or disable Windows Firewall

    Hello

    In my opinion, your configuration is good, but there is something that you can check. Access the wireless network connection properties. There is option this connection uses the following items and the inside should be sharing of files and printers for Microsoft Networks.
    If this isn't the case, you can add it. Click the button install.

    After that, start the Explorer and choose any folder. With the right click of the mouse, there is the option sharing and security. Share this folder must be selected.

    Try to please and let me know if you have any success.

    Good luck!

  • 'Windows not will mark the Ad Hoc network'

    Hello

    User of the computer without experience here.  I have an iPad that works very well if I have WiFi available.  I don't have WiFi at work, so I am interested in the connection through my work Windows 7 computer, which is connected via a connection to the local network.

    I did everything according to the instructions on:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-computer-to-computer-ad-hoc-network

    However, when I put my key name and the network security and press 'Next', I get the message, "Windows could not configure [network name]."

    There is no other error message and no indication on what I could do so that Windows is able to put in place the ad hoc network.

    What should I do?

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphones does not detect the wireless Ad Hoc network

    I try to connect my Torch 9800 for the ad-hoc WiFi network, I put in place on my Windows 7 PC with Internet sharing.  However, the torch does not list even the SSID in the list of detected networks.  I confirmed that the network Ad - Hoc on Windows 7 is in mode ' Waiting for Users ' and the torch can detect other networks nearby.  I tried clicking on "Other ways to connect" and manually enter the SSID, but it still doesn't work.  I've also confirmed that other devices (an another laptop Win7 and an iPad) have no problem connecting to the Ad Hoc network and Internet connection sharing.  Any ideas?

  • Windows not mark the ad hoc network.

    I've used this feature on my computer before about 6 months ago.  About 2 months ago, I had to reinstall the windows operating system 7 due to some problems I had with the software and my driver cd.  After using the disc of windows 7 dell, I had all sorts of problems.  Drivers have not been installed and ive called dell several times to get help with drivers are reinstalled.  I don't know if this information will help you to help me, but I thought I'd give some information.  Tonight, I tried to set up an ad hoc network so I can use my computer as a wifi hotspot and connect to my ipod touch.  When I went to create, I reach the screen when you type the name of the network, select protection and password etc.  I do all this and then click Next.  The box following dialog that appears says 'windows could not configure jon' (jon is the name I use for the network).  I don't know what is the problem, but I contacted the hardware support dell, they said that it was a software problem and I had to buy a software warranty for something like $250 and then I could talk to the experts in software and they'll fix it.  I told them I could not do that and asked how it was a software problem and the person just said that it was too advanced for the material support team and the software team would reconfigure the entire network... whatever that means.  So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you
