Create a computer-to-computer ad-hoc network on a Mac

I'm trying to get my iPad to mirror to my MacBook Pro using AirServer at a hotel, and AirServer says I can create an ad-hoc network to do this, and pointed me to a support link here, but it's dead. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
George

How do I add a password to an existing Computer-to-Computer (ad-hoc) network?

I have just created a computer-to-computer (ad-hoc) network but accidently missed the step to add a password to restrict access to the network. I cannot see any options to edit or manually manage the 'device' network.
How do I add a password or delete the network?

Use AirPort Admin Utility to enable wireless encryption on the one called "Main". Use WPA2 or WPA (with a non-dictionary password) if all of your equipment supports it.
Configure the 2nd AirPort Express (AX) [formerly "Remote"] to join the wireless network provided by the first one. Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Ad hoc network for Airplay Mirroring

Can you create an ad hoc network between an Apple TV and a MacbookPro to use air play mirroring? It would be useful when there is no available wireless network?

Hey, thanks for reading my problem!
The vista PC has the internet in to it... cable modem with ethernet wire to NIC.
Auto addressing through virgin media.
Same PC with a second nic with manual addressing.
192.168.0.1
submask 255.255.255.0
I also manually put the dns server address in here from virgin.
This nic connects to my 1gb hub.
laptop using win XP connects to this hub using nic and wire using a manual address
192.168.0.2
submask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1 (vista pc nic address)
dns set as to what virgin media is showing
same laptop built in wireless.
192.168.0.3
submask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1 (vista pc nic address)
i have tried setting the dns and allowing it to be auto but neither makes a difference.
create ad hoc connection on the laptop
shared authentication
WEP encryption with network key i typed in
key index = 1
advanced setting computer - computer ad hoc network only.
Does this sound about right?
If i'm totally off then feel free to laugh LOL!
i then set my touch manually
ip address 192.168.0.4
submask 255.255.255.0
router 192.168.0.1 (vista gateway ip address)
is this wrong?
Just to clarify, I do not have a router... it's a cable modem connected via a wire to my hub which is a stand alone hub that has no features. The only wireless thing i have is my built in laptop wireless chip that i created the ad hoc connection with.

Ad hoc network for ipod touch

I know there's several posts about this but non are specific to my setup so I though I would create my own thread.
My setup
I have a pc running vista 32 bit and I use this as my server. My internet connection goes through this pc and i shared amonst 3 other pcs. This pc has 2 NIC's, 1 for the internet/modem and is shared, the other to connect to my 1gb hub. I do not have a router, I have the net shared through the server pc then on to a hub which the other pcs are connected too. I have assigned static ips to the network computers and all manage to get on the net.
My laptop (win XP Pro) which is one of the computers connected to this hub also has built in wireless and I would like to know how I can use this wireless feature to get my ipod touch online as well.
The laptop is on the net using the NIC and everything is fine. For the wireless connection I setup an ad hoc connection and it's showing up in the wireless network connections in XP on the same laptop so that's running correctly. My ipod finds this wifi and does connect, however i can not browse the net using it. It keeps saying Safari can not find the server.
server pc wired - ip 192.168.0.1
laptop wired - ip 192.168.0.2
laptop wireless - ip 192.168.0.3
I have tried the following settings in my ipod wifi settings.
ip 192.168.0.4
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
router 192.168.0.1
The wifi symbol shows up in the top left of the ipod but again it just won't connect to the internet. IS my network too complicated or not how things should be setup? I know ad hoc works but perhaps i'm not doing it right.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Can't create a computer to computer network

Hi,
I have a 1.8Ghz iMac G5 and my partner recent bought a iBook 12". The iBook came with built in airport and so I puchased a airport extreme card for the iMac so we could wirelessly connect the two computers.
The iMac has 10.3.9 and the iBook has 10.4.3.
I've tried everything I can think of but I can't seem to get the computers to see each other. I've created a network on either machine but can't see it on the other.
My thoughts are that there must be a fault with one of the cards, any other ideas?
Thanks
Olivier

Rather than create a computer to computer wireless network it can be easier to use one of the Macs as software base station instead and allow the other Mac to connect to this Mac created wireless network.
On the iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Tab
Share internet from (anything) via Airport
Your iBook should be able to connect to this iMac created wireless network.

I can not create a computer-to-computer network

I am trying to create a computer-to-computer network to share files between my laptop and imac but everytime I start doing this the computer remains endless waiting in the creation process (both on the laptop and the imac) I switched the security in the meantime from WPA2 to WEP which should be ok as I understood.
So please help what should I do

Don't use WEP - it can be cracked in about ten minutes. Use WPA2, this isn't likely to be the problem.
The method of setting up File Sharing between computers (ethernet or wi-fi) is outlined here:

Cant create a computer to computer network

before upgrading to snow leopard airport worked fine and i could create a computer to computer network so i could use my ipod touch. now that i have upgraded i cant create a network and i keep on getting there was a error creating your computer to computer network can anyone help me fix this annoying problem please.
i wish i had have stayed on loepard i had no problems at all.

What have you done to try to create the network? Are you able to connect to the internet using Airport? For starters, maybe [this read|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8339.html] will help.

Creating ad-hoc network for iTouch in XP

Has anyone been able to sucessfully create an ad-hoc network within Windows XP and get there iPod touch online with it? (***** that you can't import certificates on the iTouch yet...)

Ok, a few points.
1) I'm not sure if you are using just your laptop and the iPod. If so you will need another computer to keep the network alive. If you don't add another computer the network will stay alive for a short period of time which will allow you to at least use it for a little while.
2) Do you have Internet connection sharing enabled in windows? Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your Internet connection -> Click the 'Advanced' Tab up top -> And check the box 'Allow other users to connect through this computer's Internet connection'
3) If you have done the above or are sure your internet connection is being shared ie. Another device (other than the device directly connected to the Internet) on the network can use the Internet. Ensure that the computer connected directly to the Internet has the IP address 192.168.0.1
To check this go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right click your WIRELESS network connection.
In the area below "This connection uses the following items:" scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", select it and hit properties.
Ensure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is NOT checked. Enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 if it is not already entered. Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
Once you have done this.
On your iPod Touch go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Whatever your network is called (tap the blue arrow next to this)
Under IP Address click "Static"
Enter and IP Address not used on your network. eg. "192.168.0.2" DON'T USE "192.168.0.1" as we just used it for the computer connected to the Internet!
Subnet mask is "255.255.255.0"
Router is "192.168.0.1" - Yes I know you don't have a router but the computer connecting to the Internet is acting as one. If you wish you can also enter DNS as "192.168.0.1". I have but it shouldn't really have any impact.
You're Internet should now work assuming you don't have a proxy enabled, which I seriously doubt you would. If you do then enable HTTP Proxy below where you just entered your IP address and enter your proxy username and password.
Everything should work now.

Can not create ad-hoc network

I am trying to create an ad-hoc network on my macbook pro 15.4" 1.5 gb of ram 1.83ghz first-gen and just upgraded to leopard
I am trying to create a network for internet sharing and I don't have it turned on internet sharing and then It says there is an error setting up a ad-hoc network and I have tried all the channels and nothing works help please thank you

I might have the answer. I had the same problem. Try changing the default name of the network to something short without an apostrophe. When I did that, I was able to create the network.
Note: my name is long and that is the name my computer has for me, so the default network name on mine was a mile long and full of punctuation.
Note: The first 20 or so times I tried to create the network, it wouldn't let me change the name, which I was going to change just for a laugh as opposed to doing it to not get the error message.
Maybe a coincidence and maybe not. Good Luck.

Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

These are the problems I am having:
When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
Why is this happening???
The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
Wireless Settings:
Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Access Control:
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
Internet Settings:
Internet Connection:
Connect Using: Ethernet
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Advanced Settings:
Logging & Statistics:
Syslog Destination Address is blank (as in nothing appears in this field).
Syslog Level: 5 - Notice
Allow SNMP is CHECKED
MobileMe:
Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
IPv6:
IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card - is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
Airport Express Settings:
Airport Settings:
Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
Connect Using: Wireless Network
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: using DHCP
All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

I am also having this issue... any updates on this??

Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network

I attempted to open Final Cut Express this morning and got the message, "Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network".
I have no other FCE on any computers...this is the only mac running (iMac 2008 model). I used a preference manager app and deleted preferences...didn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled FCE...didn't work.
This is the first time I have used FCE since installing the Yosemite OS, so I'm thinking perhaps that has something to do with it.
Any ideas?

There have been recent posts appearing about your problem. I'm not sure if anyone has found a solution.
FCE was abandoned by Apple years ago, and they are currently making Operating Systems without regard to how it impacts FCE.

That is what I would try - a fresh install - but your need to use FCS remover (from the same software source as Preference Manager) to make sure you get all traces of your existing installation off the drive prior to doing the installation:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
If you use FCS Remover, and reinstall the other problem may be that Apple has apparently removed the Software Upgrade to FCE 4.0.3.
So unless you have a 4.0.3 install disk, or you hadn't upgraded past the version number of the install disk you do have, you legacy projects may be tagged as being created with a later version than you have and not open.
Hope it works out for you.

IPhone no longer connects to my computer over local network through apps

I've been trying to fix this for months. I've worked with technology and Apple computers for three years. I am by no means an expert but you can believe me when I say I've tried all the basics.
I first noticed the problem using FullControl. I liked to use this first thing in the morning. One morning it wouldn't connect, "Error: Connection error (22)." I hadn't updated or changed anything. I actually put my computer to sleep the night before using the app! I was on the local network. My computer was running the helper. My computer was showing up as a device in the app. But it would not connect. I figured something was wrong with the app.
So I opened up Splashtop 2. My iMac showed up in my list but with a satelite icon informing me it was not connecting on the local network. I was still on my wifi as was my computer. I used it earlier that week.
I checked out the support pages for both apps. I updated everything. I turned off, on, and checked the connections for my firewall. I turned off my security applications and followed guides to remedy blocks they might cause. Nothing worked.
I checked Apple discussions and found people having similar issues but no one had a fix. A few found success but nothing worked for me.
A few days later I went to use my Remote app. My iTunes Library showed up in the local devices but it would not connect, "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I checked. Tried again. "Could not find [my] Library." I went back to the devices and connected to my Apple TV 2 instantly. I tried connecting my iMac with the Apple TV and found no issues. Each communicated with the other fine. I tried to connect Remote to my iTunes again but it failed.
I verified and repaired my permissions. I thought the "SUID... ARDAgent.app... [permission] has been modified and will not be repaired" could've been the problem but Apple and these Discussions assure me that this is normal and not a problem.
I recently downloaded Air Playit and ran into the same problem. I set it up on my computer following the instructions. I opened the app. The app showed my computer as a "Computer on Local Network" but when I tried to connect to server, "Connect Server Failed: Cannot connect the server, check the IP, Port and try again." I did and it didn't connect.
Save for this new app, everything worked before. Nothing has worked since that morning FullContol failed (including the new app).
Is there an answer out there?!

Intego's VirusBarrier X6 was blocking my iPhone's connection.
I saw that the program was blocking attempts to connect and took the address off the Blocked list. I instantly connected through everything again. It turned out to be a major oversight and easy fix!
If anyone else is having similar issues, check your AntiVandal software and make sure your devices are not being blocked.

Windows 7 fails when authenticating to another computer on the network

In Windows 7 (home premium, 64 bit), I am attached to a VPN (Using OpenVPN). Then, whenever I try to either:
- Use explorer to look at the file system of another computer
- Use the remote desktop connection on another computer
- Map a folder on another computer as a network drive
... in all of these cases, I get the authentication dialog and once I send my username and password, it crashes. For example, when I use explorer, it hangs, and then comes back with the message: "Explorer has stopped working"
I have elsewhere seen a proposed solution for similar symptoms, of deleting this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions\MachineThrottling
However, this is not applicable in my case, as the key is not present.
I don't think that this can be a problem with the network, because:
a) this works fine from a different computer, running XP,
b) I have in fact seen this working on this computer, but just once, straight after a system restore, and I can't replicate the success by doing another system restore.
c) If it were a problem with the network, you would expect Windows to fail gracefully.
Additionally:
- Disabling the firewall doesn't help.
- Disabling the antivirus software (AVG) doesn't help.
- Doing a clean boot doesn't help.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Can I create a portable ad-hoc network between an iPad and other wireless devices?

I have a iPad that uses a third-part app to connect to and read data from a wireless hard drive. This works great in my house over my local network. What I want to do is create an ad-hoc network to use in my car or other remote site to basically just allow the wireless connection between the two devices, with no internet connection. I have used an ad-hoc network in the past to sync data between my iPad and my iMac, so theoretically it should be possible, but I can't seem to find out how to do it using the iPad to create the network. Is there a support article discussing this? Has anyone out there tried doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but I must not have made myself clear. I'm not looking for internet or 3G service. All I want is a temporary network to share data over. I have lots of movies and videos stored on a wireless hard drive and I just want to be able to access them in the car while on trips or on vacation. It works in my house even when we lose our internet connection. The cable modem is off-line and the Airport Extreme light glows orange, but the wireless network still works. I guess that I could set up an iPhone as a hotspot and pay extra for a service I would only need sporadically, but I'm hoping that there is an alternative.
