So, I think I have gotten myself in a tizzy for no reason. Maybe.
I am purchasing a Windows 8 phone and the ultimate goal is to create an ad-hoc network
between it and my Windows RT (8.1) tablet. (for certain reasons)
I was reading online about Ad-Hoc as I have not directly done this before in Windows 8 and I ran into several
posts that said Windows RT does not support Ad-Hoc networks.
Maybe they meant it could not connect to an ad-hoc network. My goal was the create
a new ad-hoc network on my Windows RT and then have my Windows 8 phone connect to it.
I was getting a bit upset when more posts in other forums were seaming to corroborate Windows RT
could not connect to an ad-hoc network.
So, I just followed the NETSH commands to go a head an attempt to create an ad-hoc network on my
Windows RT expecting to get whatever nasty messages I was due to get. It looked like it actually created
the network. I then used my current Android phone (I am replacing it with a Windows 8 phone) to connect
to the newly created ad-hoc network and it seemed to connect to it just fine.
So, whats with all the posts about Windows RT not supporting ad-hoc? Or and I right in that they were speaking
of connecting to an existing ad-hoc and not hosting its own ad-hoc network?
Any insights would be welcome.
