1) Go to the control panel...wireless connections (or networking) and set up the network ad-hoc and make sure the SSID is broadcast.

2) If you buy a wireless card for the desktop, you can set it up like that. Your desktop will act as the router. When you setup that network you have to make sure the Internet connections sharing is on.

3) You cannot transfer sound over s-video. You can get an audio adapter to go from the head phone jack to the RCA audio in on the TV though.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks but a little more technical details on this would help .. it would also be nice if u could point me out to some tutorial over the net ..

 

I must have missed this thread because I posted about the same thing today.

I'm in the Intel Wireless Settings and there is an option to select the channel for ad hoc mode. It's set to 802.11g/b. I then set the wireless mode to 802.11g/b. It still doesnt change anything and the wireless connection still shows Disconnected.
