Setting up a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Profile
The Computer-to-Computer setting uses Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode is an 802.11 networking
framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use
of a router or access point. For example, this mode is used when two Windows computers are
configured with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between
them.

static IP addresses (such as 192.168.0.1
