from google; An ad hoc network is a temporary connection between computers and devices used for a specific purpose, such as sharing documents during a meeting or playing multiple-player computer games. You can also temporarily share an Internet connection with other people on your ad hoc network, so those people don't have to set up their own Internet connections. Ad hoc networks can only be wireless, so you must have a wireless network adapter installed in your computer to set up or join an ad hoc network.

The proper spelling is "Ad Hoc" Below is the only reference I have on it right now: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wireless/ht/setupadhocwifi.htm HTH, Rick Justice "People say I'm crazy,... but it's the only way I know to maintain my sanity!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 12:27 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] creating a ad hock network I have tried unsuccessfully so far to accomplish this task, but then again not with much gusto. My question is has anybody out there done this successfully? Right now I only have a single wireless device as my test system has gone to the happy hunting ground so to speak. This just sounds like a fun project, there might even be a tutorial some fine day when I can give my snow shovel the day off.
