Creating an ad-hoc network in Windows XP was a bit crude. You would add a network to the preferred list and check the ad-hoc option, then you would have to do some tinkering to start getting it broadcasting as ad-hoc. However, Windows Vista includes a wizard dedicated to creating peer-to-peer ad-hoc networks.
Choose the Set up a wireless ad hoc computer-to-computer network option, and click Next. Then follow the on-screen directions. Just like the majority of the other networking tasks and preferences, to prioritize your wireless networks and to configure other individual settings such as auto connecting , you need to go to the Network and Sharing Center.
