It's possible. Google "ad hoc network Win8" and you do get hits. One has to tinker with the innards of Win8 a bit, but it doesn't seem to be too difficult. This is primarily a solution for a situation without a router. If you have a router it's much more straightforward. I used to have some issues with my router, a function of it being in the basement and several walls between it and some of my outdoor deck uses, but all that was resolved when I got a premium router with greater signal strength. I do love my Asus RT-N66u.
