Vista - Creating an Ad-Hoc Network?

10-29-2008

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find a solution. I want to
set up an ad-hoc wireless network on my online PC so I can share its wired
Internet connection.

The set up proceeds for a while, then I get an error message "Windows could
not set up <name of network>". I've tried different security details, I get
the same message.

Note that I am trying to set up the network on the "first" PC, I have not
got to the point where I try to connect to it with a second PC.

In fact I asked it, and posting this has opened up the can of worms that was
the old thread. Re posted in new thread, hoping to attract sensible replies.

I got the same problem, no one have ever solved this problem as far as I know
I can't find any solution on the web
This problem seems to happen on Toshiba Satellite with Atheros wireless
network adapter only
