Guest t0mm13b Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Hello all :) I have enabled wifi on my netbook and set it up as a adhoc wifi point, in the hope that I can switch on the wifi on my blade to hook up and to share the net connection. Net connection is by 3G dongle plugged into netbook... Blade is running MCR 11, has anyone managed to get this Wifi to work properly? Have the IBSS set up to broadcast a SSID, but the Blade does not seem to "see" the adhoc point.... Or am I missing something? Cheers ;) Edited January 20, 2011 by t0mm13b

(Located under wireless and networks in settings) Just enable wifi tethering and connect your PC to your phone as though it is a wireless router. No need to mess around with any ad-hoc settings :) Edited January 20, 2011 by Azurren
