I have the following problem - Windows Vista does not connect to adhoc wireless network created on my Macbook. I have tried to create secured (with 40 bit key) and unsecured network but Windows Vista still has problems to connect. Windows VISTA informs me -- after 5 minutes of attempts - that setting up the connection -- with my adhoc network -- took too much time.

My question: do I need to configure some settings on Vista to connect it to my Macbook? Maybe it is a problem with DHCP?

Edited: I have tried the other way: http://superuser.com/questions/202890/set-up-an-adhoc-network-in-windows-vista-to-connect-to-and-share-the-internet-con

Can you try it the other way around? Create an adhoc network on Vista and see if your macbook can connect to it. It's worth a try. – rzlines Nov 1 '10 at 14:00
Have you tried setting up static IP addresses on both computers? – fierflash Nov 1 '10 at 14:20

I have done this between Mac OSX and Linux, and I just used static IP's. That may not be as convenient, but it works quite well.
