If the icon on the taskbar shows a small cross, it means that the computer is not connected to the wireless network; you should check the following points:
- In the list of available wireless networks (single click theWireless network connection icon on the taskbar), the ad hoc network’s SSID should appear. Double click its name to connect
- If it does not appear, open the properties of the wireless network connection (Wireless network configuration), clickAdvanced and make sure the computer is not configured to Networks with access point only (infrastructure)
- If it still doesn’t work, temporarily disable your personal firewalls (including the Windows XP firewall), to reduce the number of causes that could be creating the failure
