Adhoc Networking

I am running Vista 64 Ultimate Edition and I connect to the internet through a 20mb cable connection.

I do not have a router at present but I have a wireless adapter on my pc that I want to use to set up an adhoc network for both my wireless laptop and my nintendo wii. Is this possible and how? I've made a few attempts and can get both devices to see my network but I can never successfully connect. I've also tried bridging the wireless adapter to my network with no success.

I don't really know what I am doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Adhoc Networking

Could you tell us what you do have? I'm a little confused. Do you have a wireless cable modem? Could it be wired?

Re: Adhoc Networking

I have a wired cable modem, a wireless card in the pc connected to nothing at the moment. I used to host an adhoc network on it under XP and my laptop, Wii and PSP could connect to that. Just having trouble acheiving the same in Vista now.

Re: Adhoc Networking

Hmmm...I can't think of any obvious solutions. Could it be an administrative privileges problem?
