[QUOTE="Farmer Pug, post: 1564610, member: 174844"] I am using my Macbook with bootcamp on windows 7 at the moment to run a bit of CAD software. I would like to be able to use the ipad at the same time to read dimensions from its screen. The problem is setting up the computer to make a wireless network for the ipad, the computer is currently connected to an eternet cable. I have done the following: - set up a wireless ad hoc network (computer to computer) network, using wpa2, and the network save box was checked - internet sharing was enabled in the option that the previous step asked for, but i also went to change adapter settings for the local area connection and checked its properties to see that internet connection sharing was turned on and it was. In the ipad, the created network appears under devices, clicking on it brings up a message saying "network name is not connected to the internet" i press join anyway, use the password i setup and it says unable to join the network. What could possibly be wrong, i have the macbook sharing internet when its running on mac without any issues. Any help would be appreciated Thanks [/QUOTE]
