Ad hoc mode

Do all hp printers support ad-hoc connection? How do I setup the adhoc mode on the ojp 8600?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

No,
Not all printers support a such, the Officejet Pro 8600 do support a such however.
Be sure to update the latest firmware for the printer, then you may use Wireless Direct which allow using the priter without a router.
You may find the latest firmware below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-101905-8&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
And below you may find the steps to enable and use HP Wireless Direct:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/wireless-direct.html
Then you may connect the Wireless Direct network of the priter from your device.

Wireless Ad-Hoc mode

Hi everyone, it's my first post after the first few days with arch (which I find great).
Now I have a small via c7 pc and I bought a wireless pen dwl-122g, sure that it was easy to make it act like a router over the wireless card.
It seems that it is possible using the Ad-Hoc mode, so I installed the right driver and did something like that
http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/blog/2005.10.23.html
Everything looks fine but I don't get the last step, who can I join that wireless network??
I use a mac (with leopard) as a client, but I can't find the "Koala" (that's the essid) network anywhere.
Am I missing something?

This is my iwconfig output

HELP...

Hi ChrisJ4203
I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
thanks,

How to set wireless printer at ad Hoc mode in CP1025nw with auto-off is off?? ie never auto-off!!

How to set wireless printer at ad Hoc mode in CP1025nw with auto-off is off?? ie never auto-off!!
Thank you very much for your help if any!!

Quite a few questions there, Sends, but I will do what I can to answer them.
I would first recommend buying a router, even if it is one that you won't connect to the internet and network this with your other PCs and the printer. This will give you the best functionality and results for what you are attempting to do.
Additionally, the Auto Off feature of the printer can be disabled, and is not affected by the connection type. You can usually go through the Setup Menu and select Tools to change the options there on the energy saving features.
Lastly, the auto off feature on your computer is a Windows question, but an easy one to answer. If you are on a laptop you can right-click on the battery in the service tray (bottom right hand corner) and change the energy conservation settings.
You might be better off installing the printer through the USB cord and alternating that based on when you are using it, but that would be optimal only if you are printing only a few documents on an irregular basis. A networked connection is the easiest to manage over several computers, honesty, but you do have some requirements for that connection and limitations as well.
I hope this information is useful!

Is a 2,4MB/sec speed in a wi fi ad-hoc mode normal for G-410m-mm?

Hello!
Is a 2,4MB/sec speed normal for copying a 20gb file from a Vista x64 with Zyxel G-202 EE to G410m-mm through a wi fi in ad-hoc mode? Why is the 2,75MB/sec speed in the oposite direction higher?

Sprites is not loading in Ad-HOC mode in iOS

Hi Guys,
I am completely stumped here. Created my game, all working in XCode' simulator and also on my device when directly deployed from XCode.
I Submitted my app and they rejected it and asked me to run in Ad-HOC mode in my device to test since the app was not working.
I can replicate the issue in Ad-HOC mode.
Issue:
Once replace scene is invoked, the tile map is not populating the Sprites from the sprite-sheet created using the TexturePacker software. The app does not crash, however the Scene is empty with just the background without any Sprites loaded in it.
Not sure how can this be a code issue since works fine when I install directly from XCode.
Please help, thanks in advance

Not supporting ad-hoc wifi is a bad call and hopefully one that will be remedied soon. That means that users are required to either get the new AT&T 4G model (unlikely for those of us who just bought one) or own a Palm phone in order to use the TouchPad in most places outside of their homes.
There are several threads on this and other forums about this lack of support.
For me personally, it has made my TouchPad (which I love dearly) virtually useless in 90% of the places I go when I leave my house. I did go to a restaurant with free wifi the other day, but so far that's the only place I was able to connect other than my home. And a lot of places charge to connect to their hotspot. I have 2 cell phones with internet and a mobile broadband usb key from Sprint ... none of which can put my TouchPad on the internet. With all that connectivity available to me, why should I have to pay for hotspots all over town?
I do plan to get a Pre3 when it comes out, but since the US release date hasn't even been announced, that could be months. As much as I love my Touchpad, if it can't connect it to the internet outside my front door, it may have to go back.

Ad-hoc mode vs Mesh

Hi,
Can anyone explain to me the difference between ad-hoc and mesh.
I read in some places that mesh follows 802.11s which uses the mac80211 stack which is present in the 2.6 kernels.
when we are creating a mesh network, the VAP would be in the ad-hoc mode only right? why would we require 802.11s for a mesh network.
Cant I have a my card in ad-hoc mode and have a mesh network without having 802.11s?
please advice.

Thanks alot. you've cleared quite a bit of cloud frommy mind with your explanation...
just a another clarification: (Hope Iam not buggin you too much)
Can I say like this:
802.11s is standard for mesh - which i think means.. every member can reach every other member by means of bridge..and multiple bridges can join together.
Say,i think if u draw a diag of mesh network with 4 nodes (a,b,c,d) .. it will be like every node will be directly connected to every other node..
And Adhoc would mean peer to peer.. using peer to peer, several nodes will be connected and can reach other nodes by means of their peer connectivity.. in effect it achieves(is confused) the english meaning of mesh because many nodes can communication with each other
Say In an adhoc node.. it can be like b is connected to a and c.. and c is connected to d (d is not directly connected to b).In effect everybody can reach the others thru a hop or multiple hops.
ADOV n other routings avalible will be needed in adhoc to find the least hops needed to reach the destination and also to be able to know what nodes are available thru which peer...so that traffic can be accordingly routed.
Please confirm this... It would really help.

IPad app crashes in ad-hoc mode; debug interpreter works fine

Hi there,
I've been fighting with this issue for days now. I have an app which uses Away3D and Starling together. Works beautifully on the web, and also when compiled with debug-interpreter mode. However, when I compile for ad-hoc ipa and run it, it loads up just as slowly as debug-interpreter mode, and then crashes. I find a LowMemory report in my CrashReporter directory when I sync with iTunes.
Another strange thing is that the app's viewport is screwed up, it truncates part of the screen.
I am using the combined Flex 4.6/Air 3.3 sdk found here: - and compiling against air 3.3.
This is using Windows XP.
Can anyone help please - this is so frustrating..
Thank you.

Hi Gaius,
With the exception of my preloader, which has no actionscript code in it whatsoever, I do not have any external swfs being loaded into my app. It's all images, zip and text files.
How are they _very_ different? Is this documented somewhere? I ended up working around the problem - it seemed like it doesn't support pass-by-reference of typed vectors, although I have other code that does things like so:
var foo:Vector.<cFoo> = GetFooVector();
and it works just fine. Sounds like a bug to me. Anyway, my workaround didn't solve the problem - because I ran into this next:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3356966
Thankfully it's the exact same issue that several people have encountered, and it causes no 3d meshes to be renderable on an iOS device. Pretty serious stuff.

Macbook Pro & Apple TV in Ad-Hoc mode

I have a 802.11b router and am connecting to the network with my laptop and apple tv which I just bought today. The syncing takes forever. Is there any way I can make an ad-hoc network with my laptop and my apple TV so I can get a faster sync? This would be a great way for me to sync until I get a faster router.

I got it. I plugged in my laptop directly into the Apple TV via an Ethernet cable. Set the IP addresses on both machines, and worked fine. Instead of the movie taking 1hr+ took like 3 minutes. Much better.

Infrastructure vs. Ad Hoc modes

I just ran into a difficult router problem. I had my laptop computer and my daughters laptop computer working well in wireless mode thru WEP Key encription. I added a desktop but appeared to be forced to use AdHoc mode because it wasn't allowing me to set the channel to 11 in the Infrastructure mode. Now only that desktop is working wirelessly. Both of the laptops can't seem to connect to the router. The laptops do connect to Linksys signal from one of my neighbors. The View Wireless Networks list shows the Router but it tries to acquire address UNSUCCESSFULLY.
Any ideas? Did I screw up my network settings when I set up the desktop to AdHoc mode when the others were in Infrastructure mode? Is there a quick fix?
thx.

Hurrah! I restored to two days ago when I fixed my "unmountable boot drive" or whatever the error was....
Then I used the Linksys Wireless PCI Setup Wizard to install the WMP11 'old card'....with a bunch of difficulty and using the Linksys Netcheck...I got thru the WMP11 incomplete install, then the system had two configuration utilities running at same time so fixed that, then Netcheck still said I should run Easylink Connect which doesn't support BEFW11S4 and WMP11, so then I just clicked on View Available Networks, and connected, put in WEP Key, and it functioned....
Even better, my portable is now fully functional in wireless mode again....
Thanks for your help....this never is as easy as I would like it to be....
p.s. Another Issue: in the process of trying to fix one of my other wireless WMP11 adapters in a 4th desktop, I opened the case, and now the Power light will not come on any more.....Did I inadvertently fry the card? I moved to another PCI slot with no luck....Do I now need to just buy another card? and will any PCI card work with the BEFW11S4? thx.

How to see Shared Members in Smart View on Ad-hoc Analysis mode

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Planning v 11.1.1.3.
For the alternate hierarchy we have created shared members. But in Smart View we are unable to see Shared members hierarchy in Ad-hoc analysis mode.
Is this limitation in Hyperion Planning?
Or
Is there any way to see shared members Hierarchy in Smart View in Ad-hoc analysis mode?
It is urgent requirement Please let me know as early as possible
Thanks in Advance!!!

When you say open data form in Ad-hoc mode, can you do that? I think when you select Ad-hoc mode, you are basically connecting to Essbase and therefore need to manually select the members. (of course, I've got a 11.1.2 env right now so not too sure of 11.1.1.3)
I'm able to just go to Member Selection and select whatever hierarchy i want, Shared or Stored, when I'm connected to Essbase. When connecting to Planning, I dont have any option of opening the form as Ad-hoc mode.
Can you see the hierarchy if selecting the members using Essbase connection and not planning?
Cheers,
Abhishek

HP pro 1102w ad-hoc wireless mode

Hi there, recently bought an hp1102w printer and i'm trying to connect it to a windows 7 notebook wirelessly via ad-hoc mode. The problem is that i can't set the printer to ad-hoc mode, i have restored network settings (folloewd the procedure in user manual) several times but it keeps in infrastructure mode.
Can someone please enlighten me on this?
Thanks in advance,
Manuel Pimenta

Here is what I don't understand. From the manual page 30.
Perform a peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) wireless installation
The product can be installed wirelessly to a computer through a peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) installation.
1. Turn on the product, and then restore the network setting.
2. Print a configuration page (see Configuration page on page 56), and find the network name
(SSID) in the Network Information section.
3. Refresh the computer wireless network connection list, and then click the product network name
(SSID) and connect to it.
This is an ad-hoc connection... so how can you have a SSID and connect to it without a router???
This information has to be wrong. Going to need a current HP tech to verify this. I have never connected thru ad-hoc myself so I'm not sure.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

As you see here, for some reason wlan-ng** and ipw3945*(older driver) made it into my machine aswell, let alone ndiswrapper, that i never used.No matter what, my net after i booted the new kernel was broken. I couldnt connect using the "network" script (see below) as i used to.On boot kernel using just udev , was loading for some reason all ipw3945/iwl3945/ndiswrapper!So to minimize conflict possibilities, i removed wlan-ng26/wlan-ng26-utils , as well as ipw3945/ipw3945d and ndiswrapper. I blacklisted all the above aswell so to be sure that only the recommended iwl3945/mac80211 combo will run .

Aha! somethng goes wrong at low level there. Only randomly the pings are echoed for 3 or 4 seconds, and then again my wifi card looses association and starts all over taking random time to reassociate.
As a side note, the hardware *did* work properly since it was operating flawlessly before last update, *AND* *does* work properly , since i can boot from my FaunOS usb stick , and get it work properly.This all seem strange to me. In case any of you can recognize wthere this is some sort of configuration problem, upstream code problem, or package problem i would be glad to hear it , as i have been trying to figure out what is going wrong for 5 days now.I havent yet tried managed more, but it is not an option for me at the moment.

Well after getting tired trying out little things here and there with iwl3945/mac80211 and rc.conf et al. i gave ndiswrapper 1.52 a shot and it worked. Now i have my network back. So this reduces i guess the possibility for a script error causing this issue? So it is a iwl3945/mac80211 error? Should i file a bug for this somewhere with all the data i have in this thread and my braincells regarding this issue, since the suggested open source linux drivers dont work after upgrading to 2.26.6?
Enjoy

PS : with ndiswrapper and windows XP driver, i got my network up , issuing *exactly* the same commands i was trying with iwl3945/mac80211 combo.So this is saying something i think...

Setting wireless interface mode with PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN

I'm trying to set my laptop's wireless interface to run in Ad-Hoc mode. Currently the interface is in managed mode
[root@nathan-laptop /]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"Farfel"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:F0:B8:4A:3F
Bit Rate=60 Mb/s Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=100/100 Signal level:-55 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
When trying to change it I get the following error:
[root@nathan-laptop /]# iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
To add the the mystery when I boot from an arch live cd I am able to change the wireless interface's mode. I'm using the latest iwlwifi-4965-ucode firmware as well as the iwlagn kernel module.
Does anybody know what the problem is?

The problem seems to have resolved itself after updating the kernel.

N series Ad Hoc

Heres a weird question.....would it be possible to set an N series phone in ad hoc mode, connnect it to lets say a Playstation Portable and use the phones 3G connection to play online.
I suspect theres no way to do this but it would be interesting.

there's a program named JoikuSpot available at Download! on the PC suite. It shares your phone's 3G internet connection to any wireless device. it turns your phone into a hotspot.
i'm not really familiar with bridged networking or ad hoc, although i have heard this before. sorry
75% of the people will believe any made-up statistics they see in a signature just like this one.
