Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Ad-Hoc Network
Install the
D-Link DWL-AG660
Wireless Cardbus Adapter into one
laptop computer.
(See the
Quick Installation Guide
included with the
product for installation instructions
).
Install another
DWL-AG660
into a laptop computer, or you can
install a DWL-AG660 Wireless PCI Adapter into a desktop computer.
(See the
Quick Installation Guide
included with the product).
Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set
the adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP address to each
computer on the Ad-Hoc network.
(See box below).
When assigning IP addresses to the computers on the network, please
remember that the
IP address for each computer must be in the same
IP address range as all the computers in the network
, and the subnet
mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.2
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be
assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0,
etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same
IP address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the
network.
