Right off the assembly line
Hello,

Im trying to connect my HCL laptop running Windows XP to another Lenovo laptop which also runs Windows XP , using an ad-hoc wireless connection . Both laptops have an inbuilt wireless adapter.

I followed the steps given at
*www.digitgeek.com/how-to-connect-two-computers-using-a-direct-wi-fi-ad-hoc-connection/ .

But whenever i right click on the wireless network icon and click on "View Available Wireless Networks" it says "No Wireless networks were found in range". Same thing happens on the other computer.

Am i missing out something or is some additional hardware or some special kind of wireless adpater required to make the ad-hoc wireless connection between the two laptops ?

Thank You.

As i never tried it as i have not all hardware available . But as i see in my linksys receiver there is option of ad-hoc mode. And also tell us is it possible to run both ad-hoc mode and infrastructure mode together.
If any one of have tried this please share with us
