Hi Youcef,
With Ad hoc do you mean Bluetooth? Some games like Sonic 4 Ep 2 and Minecraft p.e. use bluetooth to connect with an other phone without wifi.

hi Benalimarwan
i mean by ad hoc, create wireless Ad-Hoc network on Windows , so you can share internet 3G/4G , but android don't see this network , i don't know why, i have nokia n8 before with symbian, i create ad hoc network with my laptop and i share internet very easy, but now my lg nexus don't work.

Wireless Ad Hoc Connection

Hi there
Hope somebody can help me with this...
I ve set up an wireless ad hoc connection between my laptop, which is connected to a wired broadband connection, and my Xperia. When I look for the network, my Xperia finds the ad hoc network and I can connect to it no problem what so ever.
however, the problem then is that I cannot do much more once I m connected to my computer. I cannot find the folders which I specifically made available for network access nor can I surf the internet over the laptops' connection (which I normally should be able to do with an ad hoc connection)
anybody who has tried the same thing and succeeded? help would be appreciated
thanks

I have not done it with my xperia but had this problem with a WM6 device before. The problem is that windows mobile will not get a server assigned ip address and dns server address. You must specify a static ip and dns server, then it will work. And next time you want to connect to another network you must remove the static settings. Pretty annoying.

[Q] Ad Hoc WIFI Issues

Hi All,
I need some help with WIFI. I've set up my pc (connected via ethernet) to share internet via an Ad Hoc WIFI connection. The connection works but I have to manually connect to it every time. How do I make Android treat Ad Hoc networks same as Router based WIFI?
Thanks
I can't answer your question but I can, however, provide you with a possible workaround.
If you're using Windows 7, download and install a free software called Connectify. It turns your PC into a full blown access point. Just used it during a trip to share a hotel ethernet connection and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for replying. I heard about connectify but I use XP.

Xperia X8 with wifi ad hoc working!!!

First of all, sorry if my english is not good. I had been searching on the web for a method to connect my xperia x8 to a ad hoc wifi (in my case is from my laptop). There are many ways but none worked for me so I decided to upgrade the firmware to the MiniCM6 1.0.1 - with miniCM theme (Froyo/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3) and now it can detect al the ad hoc wifi nearby. I did not have to change any file just the upgrade. It is very stable and has a nice look. Take a look at:

You have to configure the ip static on the xperia (and also the net mask, dns1, dns2, gateway). To configure the ad hoc wifi on laptop/PC with windows xp go to:

just change the Network Authentication to Open and Data Encryption to disable. No one will connect to your wifi if don't have the coorect static ip
Maybe this post is not usefull but I think there are many people in the same situation I was and this could help them.
Bye

[Q] wireless sharing of labtop internet

I Have a windows xp sp3 on my labtop and I use a 3g dongle to connect to internet...but I can't figure out how to share my internet over wifi to be enable to search internet on my NST....I created an ad hoc using my labtop dell wireless manager and shared my internet but It seems like my NST can't find the network (despite the fact that my Nokia N82 finds it and connetcts to web) so I used the connectify app to share my internet but that didn't work either...(It may be me who can't configure the software. I don't know) ...seems like The NST can only find the routers and DSL modems not ad hoc networks...do u guys have any suggestions ????
It's possible that it doesn't support adhoc mode. there a virtual access point app for windows floating around, Google it. If your wifi card supports it, enjoy.

If you want to fiddle, try http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Enable_Adhoc_Networking
It's about NC, you might need another wpa_supplicant for NST tho.
mind if I ask you the name of the app ??

Thank u ...but the software just works for windows 7...my windows is xp....

[Q] How to connect Note 3 to Ad hoc networks?

Hello,
I am trying to connect my "rooted" galaxy note 3 to ad hoc networks but the problem is that such ad hoc networks are not detectable by default. In fact, when I use Wifi Analyzer I can see them but when I use the normal scanning menu I cannot.
While googleing, the only proposed solution is to patch the Wpa_supplicant, but I cannot the corresponding one for my note 3!!!
can any one help me please?? What do i have to do in order to be able to connect to ad hoc networks?
I am sorry for my english language
