The properties dialogue box for the wireless network connection (wireless network configuration tab) presents the networks detected by the wireless adapter and lets you configure them.
To create an ad hoc network, you need to add a new network, identified by a unique name, the SSID. To do so, click the button Add. A new dialogue box opens:
To create the ad hoc network, on each of the future network’s computers, you simply need to enter the same SSID and check the box “This is a computer-to-computer network“. The other options are used to heighten security. Firstly, leave the network completely open (with the options in the above screenshot), so as not to multiply settings that could prevent the first networking.
At this point, the machines on the ad hoc network should be able to connect to each other.
