selama ini dalam diskusi di milis, jika ada yang menanyakan bagaimana membuat sebuah jaringan nirkabel (wireless network) tanpa router, saya selalu googling sebentar dan memberikan hasil temuannya.
namun kemarin malam saya baru menyadari bahwa hit yang paling atas, URL yang mengacu ke situs microsoft dan yang biasa saya informasikan ke orang lain, ternyata sudah tidak ada. fasilitas pencarian yang disediakan oleh microsoft sendiri juga tidak banyak membantu.
untungnya artikel tersebut masih tersimpan di google cache, tertanggal 14 november 2008 kemarin. berhubung tulisan yang menghilang dari situs microsoft ini merupakan informasi yang berguna untuk umum, dan ada kemungkinan tidak ada terus disimpan di google cache, saya putuskan untuk menyalin artikel tersebut di sini.
Set up a wireless network without a router
Published: August 15, 2006
Wireless networks are helpful because they let you use your computer and connect to the Internet anywhere in your home or office. However, most wireless networks use a wireless router, which can be expensive. If you have more than one computer, you can set up a wireless network without buying a wireless router and save yourself some money.
In a traditional wireless network, a wireless router acts as a base station, much like the base station for cordless phones. All wireless communications go through the wireless router, allowing nearby computers to connect to the Internet or to each other.
Ad hoc wireless networks work more like walkie-talkies, because the computers communicate directly with each other. By enabling Internet Connection Sharing on one of the computers, you can share Internet access.
Ad hoc networking might seem like a much smarter alternative to using a wireless router, but it does have a couple of disadvantages:
- If the computer connected to the Internet is shut down, all computers that are part of the ad hoc network lose their Internet access.
- To connect to the Internet, one computer always needs a wired network connection.
To connect your computers to the Internet using an ad hoc wireless network, follow these high-level steps (described in more detail later in this article):
- Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Internet-connected computer. You can skip this step if you don’t need to access the Web.
- Set up the ad hoc wireless network on the Internet-connected computer.
- Add your other computers to the wireless network.
How to enable Internet Connection Sharing
On networks with wireless routers, the router has the important job of forwarding communications from the computers on your home network to the Internet. On ad hoc networks, you must designate one computer to serve this role. The computer you choose must have a wired connection to the Internet, and it should be left on whenever you want to be able to use your other computers.
How to set up the first computer
To set up an ad hoc wireless network that allows computers to share an Internet connection without a router
- If necessary, install a wireless network adapter
- Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- Under Pick a category, click Network and Internet Connections.
- Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Network Connections.
- Right-click your wireless network connection, and then click Properties.
- In the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box, click the Wireless Networks tab.
- On the Wireless Networks tab, under Preferred networks, click Add.
- In the Wireless network properties dialog box, on the Association tab, type the name of your ad hoc wireless network in Network name (SSID) box (shown in step 10). For example, you could name your wireless network MyHomeNetwork.
- Clear the The key is provided for me automatically check box and select the This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network check box.
- Create a 13-digit password and type it in both the Network key and Confirm network key boxes. For the best security, include letters, numbers, and punctuation. Then click OK.
- Click OK again to save your changes.
How to set up additional computers
If the computer you want to add to your network does not have built-in wireless network support, install a wireless network adapter.
Windows XP automatically detects the new adapter and notifies you that it found a wireless network.
Now connect your computer to your wireless network
Note: These steps apply only if you’re using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). If you haven’t installed SP2, visit Microsoft Update to install it before connecting to the ad hoc network.
- Right-click the Wireless Network icon in the lower right corner of your screen, and then click View Available Wireless Networks.
Note:
If you run into any problems, consult the documentation that came with your network adapter. Don’t be afraid to call the manufacturer’s technical support department for help. - The Wireless Network Connection window appears and displays your wireless network listed with the SSID you chose. If you don’t see your network, click Refresh Network List in the upper left corner. Click your network, and then click Connect in the lower right corner.
- Windows XP prompts you to enter a key. Type your encryption key in both the Network key and Confirm network key boxes, and then click Connect.
Windows XP shows its progress as it connects to your network. After you’re connected, you can close the Wireless Network Connection window.
Repeat these three steps on each computer that you want to connect to your ad hoc wireless network.
Now you’re ready to browse the Web wirelessly, from any computer you add to your home network.
UPDATE
pagi ini, tanggal 19 november 2008, artikel yang membahas cara membuat wireless network ad-hoc di situs microsoft ternyata sudah tersedia kembali. saya tidak tahu apakah pihak microsoft akan merasa berkeberatan dengan salinan yang saya buat ini, tapi jika memang berkeberatan, saya bisa menghapus blog post ini.

Secara copyright, apakah terms of use nya mengijinkan anda untuk copy konten situs itu?
well, bisa tunjukkan situs mana yang saya salin kontennya?
justru kalau memang masih ada situsnya, nggak akan saya buat blog post ini. 🙂
ini juga bisa digunakan untuk multi player om.
saya pernah memanfaatkan macbook saya sebagai server counter strike dengan menggunakan airport (install vista di boot camp) dengan cara ad hoc.
untuk 3 laptop masih berjalan mulus koneksinya, dan tidak putus2 atau delay yang lambat (wireless di buat tanpa password)
wah sangat bermanfaat, semoga tetep awet
Ini kartu wireless-nya harus yang support “broadcast” gk sih. udah nyoba, tapi dibilang not supported :p
Buta jaringan 😀
ini bisa buat sharing koneksi internet dgn portable device ndak? misal PDA atau ipod touch…
tempo hr sy sdh pernah test..
tp PSP sy gak bs ngenalin ya..blom test pake device lain sih..gak pnya yg ber wifi lg soale.. 🙂
minta ijin kupipes om eko, sebelum dihapus kalau-kalau ms keberatan dengan tulisan anda.
Thx 🙂
hehehe secara microsoft ICS (internet connection sharing) hanya membenarkan gatewaynya dengan IP 192.168.0.1 tidak bisa IP dengan assigned selain itu, dan tidak fleksible (dari device A ke B ato C)… gua lebih pilih pake Mac OS X 😀 … gampang pake Sharing…. dari device A ke B, C, ato apa saja 😀
Pake PC? Lah kan bisa Pake Max Pro 😀 *ngacirrr kekekekee 😀

Gimana kalau dari XP ke Mac Leopard?
Kebetulan Nokia 2865 cdma saya ga tahu kenapa tidak bisa connect ke Mac, jadi harus connect dari Win XP. Thx
begitu petunjuk di atas sudah selesai dikerjakan, si leopard tinggal disuruh gabung ke network ad-hoc-nya si windows aja.
Bung Ryo,
ini adalah tulisan yang sangat luar biasa..
Keep it up.. sangat membantu..
Jangan takut, kita bebas ber ekspresi..
Saya akan senantiasa mendukung..

Mohon pencerahan utk ini,
