How to Establish Connection without Shared Wi-Fi
Many times you might not have access to a shared Wi-Fi connection to
connect your PC and your iPhone/iPod Touch. For instance, you
might be presenting at another company, and the company might not be
willing to give you access to their networks.
In this case, you can still use i-Clickr by establishing an ad hoc
wireless connection between your PC and your iPhone/iPod Touch.
Please use the following instructions.
Ad Hoc Connection on Windows XP and Vista
Step 1
Start i-Clickr on your host PC. If you do not have i-Clickr on
your host PC, download it from
http://www.senstic.com/iPhone/iClickr/Download.aspx
Step 2
On the Listener Status panel, expand Direct Wireless. Click
Start to start direct (ad hoc) connection. This will set your
PC wireless card to ad hoc mode.
On some computers, the above step might fail with the message "Cannot set adapter to normal mode." If that happens, please

Step 3
On your iPhone/iPod Touch, go to Settings -> Wireless
Step 4
Turn on wireless and select the connection "i-Clickr"
*NOTE* Windows Vista and Windows 7: You might not see
the "i-Clickr" WiFi network on your iPhone/iPod Touch right away.

steps on Windows Vista.

steps on Windows 7.
Step 5
Wait for your iPhone/iPod Touch to make the connection to your PC.
Be patient, as this process might take up to a minute. When
the connection is made successfully, you should see an IP address in
your i-Clickr PC Control.
Step 6
Start i-Clickr on your iPhone/iPod. You should see your host PC
listed with the tag "Direct connection using Bonjour."
If you are getting "Unable to connect ..." message
when you connect, please check your firewall settings. For
Windows 7, click here
