+<p>You can connect computers together by forming an <em>ad-hoc</em> wireless network. This is useful if one of the computers has a printer connected to it that you want to share, or if you want to transfer files between them, for example. With a normal (<em>infrastructure</em>) wireless network, you would connect both computers to a wireless network provided by wireless base station or router. If you don't have a base station, however, an ad-hoc network will still allow you to connect the computers to each other.</p>
 
-  <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+<p>To set-up an ad-hoc wireless network:</p>
+<steps>
+ <item>
+  <p>On one of the computers, click the network icon on the top bar and select <gui>Edit Connections</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ 
+ <item>
+  <p>Go to the <gui>Wireless</gui> tab and click <gui>Add</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ 
+ <item>
+  <p>In the window that appears, choose a name for the wireless network and then look at the <gui>Wireless</gui> tab.</p>
+ </item>
+ 
+ <item>
+  <p>Choose an <gui>SSID</gui>. This is the name of the network that other people will be able to see.</p>
+ </item>
+ 
+ <item>
+  <p>Change the <gui>Mode</gui> to <gui>Ad-hoc</gui> and leave the other settings at their defaults. Click <gui>Save</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ 
+ <item>
+  <p>On the other computer, click the network icon on the top bar and look for a network with the SSID you chose. It might take a minute or two to appear in the list.</p>
+  <p>Click it to connect to the ad-hoc network. You will be able to access network shares and so on, like you would if both computers were connected to a conventional wireless network.</p>
+ </item>

+<p>These instructions will be different if one of the computers is not running Linux. You may find it easiest to set-up the ad-hoc network on the Linux computer and connect to it using the other computer.</p>
+
+<p>Also note that some wireless network cards do not support ad-hoc networking, so you will not be able to use them to create an ad-hoc network.</p>
+
+<section id="security">
+ <title>Securing an ad-hoc network</title>
+ <p>Anyone in the area will be able to connect to your ad-hoc network, so it's not very secure. You can add a <link xref="net-wireless-wepwpa">WEP/WPA password</link> to the network to protect it from unauthorized access.</p>
+ 
+ <p>To add a password:</p>
+ 
+ <steps>
+  <item>
+   <p>Click the network icon on the top bar and click <gui>Edit Connections</gui>.</p>
+  </item>
+  
+  <item>
+   <p>Go to the <gui>Wireless</gui> tab, select the ad-hoc wireless network and click <gui>Edit</gui>.</p>
+  </item>
+  
+  <item>
+   <p>Go to the <gui>Wireless Security</gui> tab and change the <gui>Security</gui> from <gui>None</gui>.</p>
+  </item>
+  
+  <item>
+   <p>Choose your own password and then click <gui>Save</gui>. The other computers connected to the ad-hoc connection will have to reconnect and you'll have to enter the password on each of them.</p>
+  </item>
+ </steps>

 <title>Do I need anti-virus software>?</title>

- <p>Probably not.</p>

+<p>If you are used to Windows or Mac OS, you are probably also used to having anti-virus software running all of the time. Anti-virus software runs in the background, constantly checking for computer viruses which might find their way onto your computer and cause problems.</p>
+
+<p>Anti-virus software does exist for Linux, but you probably don't need to use it. Viruses which affect Linux are still very rare. Some argue that this is because Linux is not as widely used as other operating systems, so no-one writes viruses for it. Others argue that Linux is intrinsically more secure, and security problems which viruses could make use of are fixed very quickly.</p>
+
+<p>Whatever the reason, Linux viruses are so rare that you don't really need to worry about them at the moment.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to be extra-safe, or if you want to check for viruses in files that you are passing between yourself and people using Windows and Mac OS, you can still install anti-virus software. Check in the software installer or search online - a number of applications are available.</p>
