Hi every one,

I want to tranfer data between two computer via separate wifi (ad-hoc network), one computer is AP and another is client. All of works I hope make by using C#. Now I were create a ad-hoc network success, but did not find how another computer can connect to it by using C# (automatic, not manual connect). Some body can help me solve this problem?

Thanks for any ideal.

You just need to use the IP address of the other computer.

Can you explain clearly your mean?

Well I don't really know anything about your program, but I assume you are using sockets. If that is so then you just create a client server application and connect by using the IP address of the target computer.

In my knowledge, if I want to using sockets, my computer has to connect to same network, after that they can passing data via sockets. But now two computers are not connect to any network, one of them has to create own ad-hoc network and another will connect to this. all of step are programatically. I were create this network successfull but do not know how another computer can programatically connect to this network (not manual connect). how I can?

Both computers must be connected to the same network for any data transfer to be possible. This can be a wired or wireless connection.

But what I need is how to connect to ad-hoc network on another computer. for example that you said: need ip address, so if i have ip address and one computer is server of ad-hoc network, how to connect to this ad-hoc network by ip address. Please say clearly, I don't understand anything you said. I'm sorry for my poor knowledge.

You do not "connect to ad-hoc network by IP address".

Each computer needs to be connected to the network either by wire or WiFi adapter - that is the hardware requirement. They each must have an assigned and unique IP address - that is the software requirement. You then decide which PC will be the server and which will be the client, and write a program for each. The server system will create a socket with a listening port, and the client will create a socket and connect to the server by specifying the server's IP address. There are many samples of such code to be found on the internet, and possibly with comments even in your own language, to make it easier to understand.

I'm sorry, but my question did not focus to how to create a socket or tranfer data between computers via wifi. I only want to ask: how to connect to another ad-hoc network programmatically using C#? that means now i have a ad-hoc network, and one computer not connected to it, now I want to connect to this network by write a small application using C#. How and what I should base on?

I told you how to connect to the network in my previous response. Each computer needs a wired or wirelaess network adapter running the ISO/OSI network stack. Each computer also needs to have an allocated IP address so they can send messages between each other. There is nothing more to do in software.
