Creating or Connecting to an Ad Hoc Network
If you are creating a host ad hoc network for other wireless clients to connect to, you can configure the network to either use
WEP security or no security. If you configure the network to use WEP security, you must provide the network key to the other
wireless clients. If you configure the network to use no security, anyone within range will be able to connect to the network.
If you are creating a network connection profile for connecting to an ad hoc network, you must know the network name. If
the ad hoc network uses WEP security, you also must know the network key and include it in your profile.
Example: Creating an ad hoc network
In this example, the ad hoc network is created with WEP security.
1. On the Create an ad hoc network page, under Wireless network tasks, click Create an ad hoc
network.
2. On the Create an ad hoc network page, give the network a name by typing the network name in the
Network name box, and then click Next.
