Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Ad-Hoc Network
Install the DWL-G120 Wireless USB adapter into the desktop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product for
installation instructions.)
Install another DWL-G120 into the laptop computer. Or you may install
another wireless adapter such as the D-Link DWL-G650 wireless PC
Card adapter. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the
product for installation instructions.)
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.
