Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to-peer or

ad hoc)

In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that have wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. (Refer to (p 58).)

You can connect by completing the following steps:

Step 1. Set up a computer-to-computer network on a computer.

Step 2. Connect to the configured computer from other computers.

The connection setup is described for computers running Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you are using the Windows 2000 system, refer to See ”Using a wireless network with the wireless LAN setup program.(for an 11b card)” on page 47.
