How To Fix Wifi Adhoc Network Problems

A very common cause of adhoc network problems is the version of software that came with your Wifi network card, checkout your manufacturers website and see if a more uptodate version of the software is available, many of these come with there own networking software with easy to setup adhoc network software.

Cannot get an adhoc network working from a USB network adapter

This can occur when a computer only has USB 1 type ports, either add a USB 2 card or install an internal network card if possible.

I get a connection but cannot browse

Have you enabled Windows ICS or Internet Connection Sharing ?, this must be enabled first, even then we have found ICS to be quite flaky and recommend a free product called AnalogX proxy server, it's very small and robust.

Try setting IP addresses to static not DHCP otherwise it can take a long time to find an address.

Make sure your firewall is set to allow browsing on port 80, plus any other services you need such as FTP, SMTP etc, simple way to test if the firewall is causing problems is to simply disable and then test.

If you are using an internet connection via PPPoE Make sure your computer has the correct MTU network settings, firstly find your gateway address on your client pc, (from the Start Menu, type CMD, then IPCONFIG)

Now type Ping -F -L 1500 xxx.xxx.xxx (type your gateway address into xxx.xxx.xxx)

If you receive an error try pinging -F -L1450

what we need to achieve from this is a ping response and you need your setting to be as close to 1500 as possible, so keep going lower or higher until you find this number.

Note if you get a ping response from 1500 this will not work for you

Once you have it you need to enter the following into the registry

Goto

Regedit/HK_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet

/Services/TCPIP/Parameters/Interfaces

Create a new DWORD value call it MTU, double click on it choose the Decimal option and enter the MTU number you found earlier.

I have a connection but it keeps dropping How fast is the connection you've chosen? Try to slow the connection down, selecting B instead of G will go from 54 to 11 mbps

Adhoc networks do have a place in networking, but only a temporary one, I only ever use Adhoc as a last resort, the only advantage of using Adhoc is convenience and cost, but as routers are becoming cheaper it simply is not worth the hassle of using it,

Generally adhoc will be slower, more problematic, the range will not be as good as a wifi router, and of course you need to keep the host pc on whenever another pc wishes to use the internet.

Cheapest Internet and Phone Service

Do you still have landline phone service? Still stuck on dial-up Internet service because you think it's cheaper than broadband? What if I said you can essentially get unlimited local plus long distance phone service and broadband Internet for the same price or less than what you're paying for those so called cheaper services?

Ask yourself this: How much am I paying just for local phone service? Are you including all of the taxes fees and sir charges? If so, you're probably paying fairly close to 50 dollars a month just in local phone service charges. Is it fair to say you pay at least 10 dollars a month in long distance including fees?

Either way you cut it, if you are paying more than 60 dollars for phone service each month you're getting ripped off even if you think you're getting a pretty good deal. How about dial-up ISP? Do you have one of those super cheap dial-up Internet providers that only charge around 10 dollars a month for ISP? Good deal right? Wrong!

Of course I can't sit here and figure each persons monthly billing, but most of you reading this who have landline phone service, make long distance phone calls either by calling card, or a long distance plan, and use dial-up Internet service are likely paying at least 70 dollars or more per month between the three services.

What would you do if you could get high speed Internet, plus unlimited local plus long distance calling for that same 70 dollars? Would you just nod wisely and still keep your landline phone service and slow dial-up Internet? Would you keep swearing by the same cheap calling cards for long distance?

Did you know that most people in the U.S. can get broadband Internet either by cable or DSL for less than 50 dollars a month? Did you know that by having that broadband Internet service you can take advantage of unlimited local and long distance phone service for less than 20 dollars per month?

In effect, you could be getting super fast Internet connections and unlimited calling for the same price, and often times less than what you are paying for service right now. Even if it averages out to be about the same price, you're still getting better service for the same amount of money!

Of course, more often than not, the combination of broadband Internet, and broadband phone service is cheaper than the cost of landline phone service plus the cost of dial-up. Sure, the price of broadband Internet alone is going to cost more than dial-up, but factor in the savings with broadband phone service and the combination of the two are going to be much cheaper than landline phone service plus dial-up.

Quite literally, the cheapest phone service or cheapest Internet service is going to be broadband Internet like DSL or cable broadband plus broadband telephone service. Try as you might, you just cannot get a better deal than that. You've always wanted to "stick it" to your phone company, and modern technology has finally provided you a way to do just that.
