Can't Connect To Wireless Adhoc Network
Sep 8, 2011
My laptop connects to my wireless router and also file sharing with my desktop works. I brought my laptop to my girlfriend's house, where we created a wireless ad hoc network on her desktop using a wireless usb network. She tells me this has worked with other laptops. When I try to connect, it indicares "Connecting..." for about 30 seconds, and then that window disappears, but no connection is made. We have tried various option changes to network authentication and encryption to no avail. Her desktop is running Vista. My laptop is running XP.

I just installed a wireless network card and am trying to connect to an adhoc network on another desktop that has a usb network adapter. I have previously connected to that same desktop and network using my laptop, but my desktop will not connect to it. It tries to connect for about a full minute, then it indicates that it is not connected. However, in the description lower in that window, it says "You are currently connected to this network." Any attempt to use the internet, however, fails, so it isn't really connected. Also, on the taskbar at the bottom, it shows the network as disconnected (red "x").

My friends and me have been playing games on our laptops over adhoc networks for years now. However, we always have to be in the same room for it to have a good network coverage.
But as we all live in the same boarding house, the rooms can get crowded very easily. We tried playing in rooms next door to each other, but even then the connection was extremely bad.
I'm clueless in any wireless hardware such as routers, but I'm wondering if there is a device which I can plug my laptop to, and then it acts as the 'hub' of the adhoc network, being able to transmit & receive the signals much further out than any of our own laptops can.

I have three laptops (running ubuntu with different kernel versions) with wireless adapter Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945 ABG. Laptop A ----- Laptop B ----- Laptop CI created an adhoc connection in laptop A with: Essid: 'ad_hoc', IP address: 10.42.43.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 0.0.0.0, Now the laptops B and C can see the wireless connection 'ad_hoc' and I can connect to them after setting IP 10.42.43.1 and 10.42.43.2 respectively. So, I created the adhoc connection between 3 laptops. Now, I wanted to check the bandwidth between the different paths. The tool iperf was what I used for TCP bandwidth calculation. The bandwidth between A and B was around 4.5 Mbps , between A and C was around 4.0 Mbps but the bandwidth between B and C (B being server) was 677 kbps whereas C being server was 3.99. I don't understand how can the bandwidth drop so high when B was made the server. The system adapters are identical.

A couple hours ago, I set up a temporary AdHoc to share or "tether" the internet connection from a laptop (which got its internet from a router), to my iPod Touch. It worked fine and everything, in fact I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of it. Since it was a temporary AdHoc, I disconnected, and the network was deleted as expected. After a while I wanted to do it again, but when I tried to make the AdHoc, the option to "Share Internet Connection" has disappeared. I'm really puzzled as it worked just a while back, and now even the option is gone. Did some research on it and found out that it's some weird bug that had never been addressed. It had to do with the LAN and Wireless network adapters apparently and one of them had to have the ICS option checked and the other one didn't (something like that). Here are the screenshots of those settings on both my network adapters. Both adapters are enabled, except the LAN isn't "connected" since my primary way of getting internet is through a router connected to another computer.

This past weekend I went out of town and took my Windows 7 laptop with me -- since I returned home, it has been unable to connect to my wireless network. Other devices in my home connect to the network just fine, and the problem laptop has always been fine until now. My network card is an Atheros AR9285, and I'm attempting to connect to a Medialink router with WPA password protection and AES encryption.My wireless network icon in the task bar has a yellow sign with an exclamation point in it. It says "No Internet access."

I've got my network up an running and all my devices (wired computer, wireless PS3, wireless smartphone, etc..) can connect to the network except for one of my wireless computers. I've set the TCP/IP to obtain IP automatically and using the correct PPPOE username/pass I try to connect, but it never works.

I have access to a wireless network, but when I try to connect my laptop to the network it says that it can not connect. And, of course, you can't troubleshoot it without a connection...I don't know if I accidentally changed my settings somehow or what, but I'd like to get the problem solved.

My laptop won't connect to my router however the wireless network connects to everything else in the house fine. It might work for a little bit ( sometimes an hour, sometimes only a few minutes) but then it will completely refuse to connect. The wireless LAN is enabled, it even shows full signal on the laptop it just will not connect. The LAN is enable but the button for it is blinking, I don't remember it blinking before. I'm not sure if that could be the problem. As its connecting it just says " waiting for the network" and that happens for about a minute then it just disappears.

I had to replace my wireless router and when I try to reconnect my printer this is what I get: Your wireless router requires a WEP security key. The security key configured on your printer does not match exactly. Reconfigure your wireless network WEP security key for your printer. Your printer has limited connectivity. Your printer is using IP address 169.254.xx.xxx which is not compatible with the IP address 192.16x.x.x of the pc.I had to changed the WEP security key I used on the old router as the orginal security key had been used by someone without permission. Before this I had no problems using the printer on my old routerI have tried turning everything off and unplugging it but that does not work, I tried resetting the wireless settings on the printer, yet that did not work. I am using Windows Vista service pack 2 on a Compaq Presario laptop, the wireless router is a Netgear N600, and the printer is an HP Photosmart C4740.

Do mind that it has been able to connect in the past. My wireless network card (Atheros AR5B93) will detect my wireless network, but after trying to connect to it, it'll come up with a Windows can not connect error. I'm kinda lost here since in the past it's been able to connect without a problem. I know that this isn't all to much information to go off of

I have a wireless network. For some reason my computer seemed to change regarding the settings, and I can't figure out what to do. Usually I can figure things out when the settings go wrong. I have a broadband connection, where it seems to want me to enter a phone number; I have a "LAN or High Speed" connection. Normally I click "Create New Connection", but it doesn't work.
