Access Point

[RoadRoy]

Some of the Windows 7 promotional videos say that if you have an Internet connection and a wireless adapter, you can create an access point so you can share your Internet connection wirelessly.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi RoadRoy, welcome to the site I belive what you want to create is an Ad-Hoc network (I could be wrong),

There are 2 good blog posts which explain this process:

The same, but with encryption:

Lan,

Thanks for the link for the ad hoc instructions. Unfortunately my Apple TV does not "see" an ad hoc connection. I need a regular access point so I can establish a network name and password. The Windows 7 promo video says it is possible.
