Wireless ad-hoc not working after reconnect

hey all

i have a problem in win 7 on 2 different comp...on 2 dif wireless(an atheros laptop wireless and an atheros usb)

i can setup an ad hoc connection with internet no problem....works like a charm but...

if the server computer enters to sleep....after resume....the ad-hoc doesnt work anymore...only sais "identify.." and doesnt work anymore....

need to make another new ad-hoc connection to make it work

the ad-hoc connection is saved so i can use it another time....but once disconnected i can never reconnect to make it work...

i know the ad-hoc network its a temprary connection...but why bother to save it if it doesnt work afterwards

the command << netsh wlan connect name=Profile2 ssid=SSID2 interface="Wireless Network Connection"
>> works smooth but its in vain if the connection is not working after reconnect..

i said before its not working on s3....but not working on restart either....not even working if i disconnect the host PC and connect it again....cant really reconnect...

any ideas ?....

ps: the router is not a solution

thx

You should be using the wireless connection setup wizard in Windows 7 to set up those wireless connections. For Windows 7 computers I would also use Homegroup networking.

There are certain elements of sharing that probably won't work correctly if you use ad-hoc.

Homegroup - Create

The sleep mode wireless adaptor problem is widespread and will probably or hopefully get fixed with driver updates. Anthros may have one now if you look for it, new drivers are showing up daily on some sites. You might need to disable sleep until a newer driver shows up that fixes the problem.

Regarding your server falling asleep and needing to start over again you should check the power settings on the computer: Sleep and hibernation: frequently asked questions.

Here is some basic information for setting up a wireless network for internet at home: Setting up a wireless network.

u guys didnt fully understaind....

the sleep problem is one disconnect problem

the most important problem is....that if i disconnect the server comp from the ad-hoc network and reconnect it again...without restarting or anything.....the ad-hoc saved network i made wont work at all afterwards on the satellite computer

i can only create a new ad-hoc to make it work again

this is what i dont understaind....

Temp solution is to disable sleep on the server until a better driver comes along.

dont really care about the sleep for now....

more concerned about not being able to reconnect the network after i disconnect

i just hit disconnect....then a few seconds later i hit connect(to the ad-hoc i created) and the internet and network sharing its not working for the other machines...

in my server machine sais my wireless is broadcasting internet acces....but they dont have any internet or network


im very skeptic about new drivers for my hardware....i have the latest one ...and its from 2007...so if they didnt get anything better for almost 3 years....i dont think they will optimize a driver now....

I have the same problem, if anyone knows any solutions please spread the word. Its really annoying issue

try this :

create a new shortcut
pot this on its adress :
netsh wlan connect name=WirelessProfileName ssid=AdhocSSID interface="Wireless Network Connection Name"

wireless profile name = ur wi-fi name
adhocSSID = ur ssid
wireless network connection name = ur wi-fi connection name as is shown in "network connections" in control panel

eg:
netsh wlan connect name=mywi-fi ssid=mywi-fi interface="Wireless Network Connection"


put this shortcut in startup....and it will work like a charm

tip: try to give to ur adhoc a name without spaces....if u put spaces in ur adhoc name put it in "..."

so far this is the only way i know to make ur adhoc start and connect at restart
