Set Up Manual Ad Hoc Connection on Windows Vista

i-Clickr can automate the ad hoc connection set up (using the "Direct Wireless" option). However, this automation might fail on some computers because of incompatibility of certain wireless adapters. In this case, you will need to manually set up an ad hoc connection.

This page helps you to set up a manual ad hoc connection on Windows Vista.

Step 1

From XP's Control Panel, select Network and Internet..

Select Connect to a Network.

This will bring up a window showing wireless networks found on the computer. Click Set up a connection or network.

Click Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network, and click Next.

Step 2

Now you are ready to set up your ad hoc network. Enter "i-Clickr" for Network name. Select "No authentication (Open) " for Security type. Check "Save this network". Click Next.

Back to the wireless network list, you should now see the i-Clickr network you just created. Select it and click Connect.

The i-Clickr network now shows the status as Waiting for users to connect.

This completes the ad hoc network set up on the Vista side. Now you need to proceed to make your iPhone/iPod Touch to connect to the ad hoc network you just created.

Step 3

On your iPhone/iPod Touch, go to Settings -> Wireless

Step 4

Turn on wireless and select the connection "i-Clickr"

Once the connection is successfully made, your i-Clickr network status on Vista will change to Connected. Be patient, as the connection attempt might take some time to complete.
