Starting a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Network Connection
1. On the Settings tab page of the Smart Wizard, select or type the Network Name (SSID).
2. Select the Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) network type.
3. Click Initiate Ad Hoc. The Ad Hoc Setting dialog box opens:
4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11b, or 802.11g) for your Ad Hoc
computer-to-computer network.
5. In the Channel field, Automatic should work.
6. Click OK. The Wireless Adapter automatically selects the highest connection speed.
Note: If you cannot connect, see “Placing the USB Adapter Cradle” on page 8. Also,
for problems with accessing network resources, the Windows Client and File
and Print Sharing software might not be installed and configured properly on
your computers. Please see the link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP
Addressing” on page 35.

Note: If there is interference from another nearby wireless device, use the Networks
tab page to see which channels are in use in your area. Then use a different
channel. For example, if your neighbors use channel 6 and the signal strength
is strong, then channels 4-8 would probably be poor choices for you.
