Obviously replace "nice name" and "sensible password" to your own taste, then press enter Type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=nice name key=sensible password keyUsage=persistent Though it doesn't SEEM necessary being part of the same workgroup can't hurt (right click computer in the start bar, properties, change settings)ġ) Start a command prompt with admin rights If you don't have a password on your computers turn off "password protected sharing" as well, since it can't seem to tell that you don't have one, and thinks you typed it in wrong. This only works with some wireless network cards but it works on my 4 year old card so give it a go.Ġ) If you want to share files make sure "network discovery" and "file sharing" are turned on in advanced sharing settings. I like to keep my startup software to a minimum though so I prefer doing it manually. You can also download "Connectify" which uses this feature and actually has a user interface.
VIRTUAL JOTSPOT HOW TO
I'll also explain how to get the connection to start automatically when your computer does. It looks just like a normal router WLAN but uses the hardware an ad-hoc would (i.e your wireless card). The problem is my android doesn't recognise ad-hoc networksĬreate a Virtual Wifi Hotspot using a semi hidden feature in Windows 7. It is currently connected to my desktop (which also has a wireless card) and I would like my laptop and phone to be able to connect to the internet and share files with each other. In my case I live in student accommodation that has one ethernet port in each room. You have a cabled connection to the internet on your Windows 7 computer but you want to share it wirelessly with other wireless devices which may not recognise an ad-hoc connection.
