In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more
computers that have wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is not

connected to the Internet. (Refer to ”Sharing an Internet connection through a wireless
network” (p 59).)
You can connect by completing the following steps:
•
