An Ad Hoc network is a term used to discribe a network link directly between two computers using their network interfaces (wireless or wired). This would be an alternative to a more usual network setup where two or more computers would link up through a central network switch or hub. Normally Ad Hoc networks are created as a temp measure to achive a particular task like printing over Wireless or transfering files from one PC to another. An Ad Hoc network wold not normally take the place of any other network already configured on a PC.
