Setting Up an AdHoc Network
The Game Point! supports AdHoc networks. This network type is
also known as a peer-to-peer network. Within an AdHoc network,
the Game Point! connects your gaming device directly to other
gaming devices that are using a Game Point!. The network does
not include a wireless access point or wireless router. To set up a
peer-to-peer or AdHoc gaming network, complete these steps:
Installing the Game Point!
1111 Directly connect the Game Point! device to an Ethernet-
equipped computer that has a Web browser. To do this, plug
one end of the Ethernet cable into the
back of the Game Point! and plug the other end into the
Ethernet port on the computer.
