Installing the wireless adapter

Before doing anything else, you need to equip all the machines that will be on the future ad hoc network with a wireless adapter and install drivers.

Configuring the ad hoc network

1. Go to Control Panel - Network Connections, you will see Wireless Network Connection there if the computer wifi already enabled.
2. Right Click Wireless Network Connection, select Properties.
   
3. Click on Wireless Network tab
   If Wireless Network tab is disabled, that’s mean Windows Wireless Zero Configuration service is stopped.
   To enable it, right click My Computer - Manage - Expand Services and Applications - select Services
   Search Wireless Zero Configuration - Start the service if the service is stopped.
