How to make LAN in Vista without switch/router

I just wanted to put this out here. It's basically how you make your own wireless network, so you can share files with your friends, play games together and such. This can be done anywhere, I used it to play CS on the bus with some mateys xD
But mostly we use this to play CS in school, where creating servers for CS has been blocked.
Thanks to this wonderful method we can play CS Lan version in school. ^^
When others have joined your ad-hoc network, just make a server in any game that don't require internet, share files or whatever.
I captured the movie with Freez Screen Video Capture.
You need a wireless adapter for this to work. Most new laptops has got them internal. But for most desktops, I suggest buying an external one.

@MASTERCHIEF2434 Most likely you can. Just try it to find out ;)

[megvagyimmartizenyol]

and do you know that how can i make a lan connection between a vista and xp?????

[Flymaster456]

I assume you can connect with your xp after creating it in Vista. It is possible to create network in XP too, but it's a little bit more complicated.
