6.2 When to set up Ad-hoc Mode

Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as peer-to-peer mode or as

Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc mode is useful when

wireless devices are within range of each other and can discover and

communicate among themselves without an AP. The figure below

illustrates a family using Ad-hoc mode to share files and devices directly

with one another.

For PC1

1. Set your PC1’s IP address to

192.168.168.11

; subnet mask to

255.255.255.0

and activate your WLU108G Utility.

NOTE

Ad-hoc mode works best when the network uses static IP

addressing. The IP addresses of all the computers in the Ad-hoc

network must be in the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.168.xxx); and

the subnet mask must also be the same.
