    You can place both NICs in ad-hoc mode. This is like a wireless crossover cable. Place both computers in the same workgroup, then look in both network cards user manual for instructions on how to place the NICs in ad-hoc mode.

    Alright I got AdHoc mode working and I can play games against the other computers but now what about a program where you can message the other computers. Net Send isn't a good program to use. Is there anything easier.
