Wireless Ad Hoc Networking
to connect you laptop with your tower in a wireless network you need first
some wireless device in both computers. I mean a wireless adapter. when each computer got this device, they detct automatically each other but they can't communicate until you make some setting before. Do you have some wireless device in each computer? some wireless adapter I mean Regards "flackjack" wrote: I am trying to create a wireless ad hoc network between my Windows Vista tower that has internet and my windows xp laptop that does not have internet.

Wireless Ad Hoc Networking
the problem with ad hoc is when one computer only uses WEP and you
expose yourself to being hacked in a manner of minutes. I've written about this a little at http://msmvps.com/blogs/wifizone/ You really want the protection of a router. You can find routers at firesale $20-30 prices at CompUSA and the other big retail stores if you look. It's your decision, but I recommend being safe and secure.
