Hi everyone,

I'm on vacation and my current location has a wired, Ethernet connection, so I can use my laptop with no problem. I wanted to use my iPod within the house as well, so I set up an ad-hoc wireless connection between the laptop and the iPod which works great. Problem is, the connection doesn't survive if I reboot the laptop. Is there any way to make an ad-hoc connection persistent? Windows saved the connection settings but it doesn't re-enable the WiFi after it reboots. (I don't want to go out and get a wireless router just for my iPod).

Do you have windows 7 on your laptop?

Thanks, I tried that earlier but it didn't create a usable connection for me. I guess it's not too much of a hassle to create a new network. :)

That is a nifty program. Just downloaded it, might come in useful some time. :)
