join my_adhoc_network
If you leave DHCP service enabled the WiFly device will get an IP address using auto IP when associating
with the adhoc network. By definition auto IP fixes the first two bytes of subnet to 169.254.xxx.xxx. The
WiFly device takes about two to three seconds to resolve the auto IP address.
Alternatively you can statically set the IP address by disabling the DHCP service and explicitly assigning
the IP address.
set ip address169.254.1.2
set ip dhcp 0
You can confirm the device has properly connected to the adhoc network using the ping command.
ping 169.254.1.1 10
To use associate with the WiFly adhoc network from another computer
Open the “Control Panel / Networking and Sharing / Networking and Sharing Center” dialog in Vista or
“Control Panel / Network Connections” dialog in Windows XP. From here, view available networks and
select the name of the adhoc network.
