It is when 2 computers connect directly with each other. No wireless router between them.
When you set up you NIC it will have an option for ad hock mode.
ad hock is misspelled. ad hoc is the correct spelling, and it means impromptu.
All 4 computers would need to be close enough to connect via Wi-Fi between them, that is what is considered an ad hock connection. All devices connecting via ad hoc wireless must possess a working Wi-Fi network adapter. You can get a Wi-Fi network adapter for around $20.
Ad Hock mode AKA LAN or(Local Area Connection) can connect you to friends to play together if you are within 20-50 metres of each other.

Yes the DS does contain a wireless lan chip in it. With that you may connect with other players or chat using ad-hock mode.
An ad-hoc network is completely wireless; there are no wired connections. Therefore, to create one, all devices must have a working wireless connection.
I do not think that you can
Both are wireless networks. ad hoc facilitates us to connect to another w/l client without a central access point.
Yes, I believe it sets up an ad hoc wifi network that you connect directly to.
This is called Ad-Hoc networking. You can go to http://compnetworking.about.com/od/wireless/ht/setupadhocwifi.htm to setup an Ad-Hoc network.
AD-HOC network
In an ad-hoc wireless network all of the devices are wireless. There is no need for an infrastructure connection. If you want to transfer a file from one laptop to another there is no need for a wired connection. Similarly, if you connect a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to another device using wireless there would be no need for a wired connection either. Ad-hoc connections are temporary, and not designed to stay around for long periods of time. They are connections between mobile devices and do not need to connect to other parts of a network.
