How to Setup an Ad Hoc Wireless Network
Windows operating systems allow you to set up an ad hoc wireless network to share an Internet connection with other computers. This adds another level of convenience, because other computers on your network won't need individual wired or wireless Internet connections. Ad hoc networks also allow you to share files between computers on your ad hoc network.
