There are times when I want to create an ad hoc network to share
files or a network connection. Here are the steps to create an
ad hoc network in Windows 7. - Click on Start (Windows icon) and
type wireless. Click on Manage wireless networks. - Click on Add
to add a network. - Click on Create an ad hoc network. - Click
on Next. - Enter a name for your network and configure the
security options. Click on Next when you are done. [Update:

with encryption, please see this post. [Update: 8/17/2010]
