Setting up a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Profile
The computer-to-computer setting of the WG511T uses Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode is an 802.11
networking framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other,
without an access point. For example, you can use this mode for two Windows computers with file
and print sharing enabled when you want to exchange files directly between them.
Note: If you cannot connect, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”. 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. See the link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” on
page B-1.
