Ad Hoc Network not enabled in Dell Wireless Utility
How do I enable the ad hoc network configuration in the Dell Wireless Utility? When I open the Options --> Adv, it only has Access Point is selected and all grayed out, it won't let me change any thing. Also when I try to add wireless network, the Ad Hoc is grayed out. How do I enable this?
My labtop is a D630, I am trying to host the ad hoc network. I even try to use the window utility to manage this but for some reason, the ad hoc is no where to be found. Thanks.

Single click the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray>click "Join a Personal Area Network".Open the Bluetooth Manager on the device you want to use with the AD HOC network,and select Personal are network.Now it will ask you to either,search for the device you want to add,or connect to the device listed.
If the device is not shown or listed in the BT personal are network,select add device.The same way you would pair a device with BT.Now once the device is found windows will add the drivers for it to use Ad HOC(personal area network).Make sure the device is set to discovery mode.
