    Hi,
      I have a related question. Can we use the .Net framework to write drivers for Wi-Fi connections Typically laptops with Windows XP have a Intel Centrino Wi-Fi card. However the underlying Wi-Fi chip (intel etc) should'nt matter if Windows provides a common API to access them to do some basic functionality such as Scan, Join etc which are part of the standard wi-fi protocol. Would anyone know if this is possible

    Thanks,
    kopi

    There is no out of the box way to do this.
    You could always do P/Invokes :-)

    I have the same problem as Rose. I have written a very simple client/server application which runs well on lan(the application transfers files).Unfortunately, it doesn’t run well when I try to use it on wifi ad-hoc. My problem is that client can’t connect to the server (i did not have those problems on lan).
    Should I use a specific AddressFamily or ProtocolType when creating the socket
    This is my code when creating the socket:

    m_mainSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,

    SocketType.Stream,

    ProtocolType.Tcp);

    Thanks for your help :-)

    Your code is correct. Did you try pinging the server from your WiFI adhoc.
