computer's list of programs.
Using the LAN card configuration program, create a network profile that has the
following values:

Network name (SSID): Mynetwork

Communication mode: Ad Hoc

Encryption: enabled

Note

You should create a network name that is not the same as the

example shown here, such as your initials. Just remember that the
network name is case-sensitive. Therefore, you must remember which
