So, i am a collage student, and get quite board throughout my classes and want an way to chat through wireless, when there are no networks avarible.
i don't know any of the tums, but i was twiliting around and ended up going through network sharing center then going to 'set up a connection or network'.
I then started setting ap a 'wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network. i set up a name and password. then i went to manage wireless networks, whent to adapter propertiesand under settings allowed other to connect through my connection to the internet. i also went to settings and saw that i could allow accuss to ftp servers and all that other stuff. now this is where i hit a dead end. I have no real computer training, but i have learned a bit through trial and error. But would love if someone could forward me to a forum with more information, or a tutorial on how i can set up a chat system through this set up, and what other fancy things i could do from here.
As a side note, i have been messing around with puddy, if that could help at all
Edit: I am also messing around seeing if I can connect this wireless network to another one i can get that has internet.
