Wireless ad hoc network setup
Use this section if you want to connect the HP All-in-One to a wireless-capable computer
without using a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have a wireless router or
access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and
slower network performance than with a wireless router or access point.
In order to connect the HP All-in-One to your computer (ad hoc), you need to create an
ad hoc network profile on your computer. This includes choosing a network name (SSID)
and WEP security (optional but recommended) for your ad hoc network.
To set up the HP All-in-One on a wireless ad
hoc network, you need to do the following: See this section:
First, collect all of the required materials. “What you need for an ad hoc network”

Next, prepare your computer by creating a
network profile. “Create a network profile for a Windows XP
computer” on page 36
“Create a network profile for other operating
