the procedure is similar to what Macciza posted for Mac. For ad-hoc, you set the wireless card to a static address, and the iPad to static address with the last number different. The subnet mask is a bit more difficult. The wireless card is 255.255.255.0, while the iPad is either 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, or 255.255.255.0. For the router it is in fact the same, you set its LAN address, which is often 192.168.1.1, so you don't have to make changes if it fits to your LAN already.

But I assume you did that and it doesn't work.

I don't understand what this means, but I began to experiment more with different subnet masks and left the iP's as they are. And I have 255.255.255.0 now on my iPads, not the usual 255.255.0.0. I think that made a difference.

Yesterday, before my success with the router, I tried it one more time with ad-hoc, and could connect Lemur to the virtual ports on the laptop. But I think (not sure) only with dynamic addresses on the iPad. And without editor connection. My iOS 5 iPad connected to the editor fine. It really looks like as if ad-hoc is no more possible with Windows laptops. But it could also be the wireless card. You should update the card to the latest firmware anyway, but it is possible that older cards are the culprits, not Windows. I don't know, just speculating. I thought with a modern router (Asus RT-N66U) I have better chances, and after three long setup nights I guess I was right.

I wish you best luck and good nerves. This is silly and should be resolved as quickly as possible. Only professional network administrators and other clever people can do that. The average user stands in the rain.

Hi everybody,

Update 3.2.2 should solve the network issue and return things back as they were pre-iOS 6.

Get the update on the App Store and the new installer from the Support section on liine.net

Cheers,
