Well, I have recently discovered that on Windows 8, creating an ad-hoc network is no longer easily done via the control panel. Instead you have to execute a load of admin commands in the command prompt. So I have been trying to set up a bat file that I can run to create the network. But here comes the tricky part. I am trying to create one that stores the admin password of the computer, so can be run successfully on a non-administrator account, only needing the password to be entered once, when the file is first created. But I am having trouble getting it to work.
In case you need them, these are the commands needed to create, and then start the network:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=SamsLAN key=poisson1
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
If you can help, I will forever be in your debt.
