Wish I knew more about this, then maybe I could get my XP, Vista, and
Windows 7 machines to network with the firewalls enabled. Do we have any MS
networking experts in the club?

To All- 

  Jeff, N4YPT, and I have been working with N1MM and networking computers in
preparation for Field Day Computerized Logging.  We?ll need 5 computers in
all, one stand alone for a VHF station, one stand alone for the GOTA
station, and three networked for the CW, SSB and Digital-SSB-CW stations.
My understanding is that we will operate ?un-assisted? so we won?t need
internet access.  As a result, we?ve been focusing our attention on
networking three stations independent of a router or switch.  Two of the
computers are running Windows 7 and the main computer, the club station
computer, is running XP.  Windows 7 has a neat networking function where one
can easily form an Ad Hoc Computer-to-Computer network.  The computer that
forms the network becomes the wireless broadcasting host for the two other
computers and one can choose to see the encryption code.  Once set up, all
the other computers need to do to connect to the wireless network is to
supply the encryption code.  This h
 
 as been tried and tested this morning.

  Due to an external antenna on the club computer I would prefer that it be
the host but it?s not entirely necessary.  This morning I was trying to
figure out if there?s a way to form an Ad Hoc Computer-to-Computer network
in XP and have the club computer be the host.  I believe we have computer
networking gurus in the club so I?m wondering if anyone can provide me with
advice for setting up an Ad Hoc network in XP?  I appreciate all the help I
can get.  If not, we?ll go with one of the laptops being the host.

  This is the direction in which we are headed, if anyone feels strongly
about another approach, we?re certainly open to suggestions.
