		<description>Very useful tip! I have a Daihinia network (which is based on ad-hoc) and needed my computers to automatically connect upon start.

		<description>Hi, this seems to be exactly the solution I&#039;m looking for in order to get my adhoc connection to my wireless printer to connect automatically. I can&#039;t seem to get any success though and I&#039;m wondering how do I save network settings as a WiFi profile? Thanks in advance for any help!!</description>

		<description>This is an awesome tip!
I want to be able to automatically connect to an Ad-Hoc network (my cell phone provides one) when nothing else is available, but connect to an Infrastructure network if one is available.

I managed to find a solution based on your post.
Run the following .CMD script as a scheduled task.
Hope this helps someone!


@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion enableextensions
netsh wlan show interfaces&#124;find /i /c &quot;Infrastructure&quot; &gt;NUL &amp;&amp; ( 
	echo *** Already connected to an Infrastructure-based Wifi Network - Nothing to do.
	exit /b 0
)

if [%1] == [] (
	echo Usage: %~dp0 Ad-Hoc SSID
	echo.
	echo Fix Windows&#039; behavior which is to never auto-connect to an ad-hoc network.
	echo With this script, the ad-hoc network is considered lower priority than predefined infrastructure-based networks
	echo But if no such prefined networks are available, the ad-hoc network will be auto-connected.
	echo .
	exit /b 0
) else (
	Set ADHOC=%1
)

REM We know we are not on an Infrastructure Wifi
REM Assume the Wifi is disconnected
Set /a onWifi=0

REM Check for an ad-hoc network
netsh wlan show interfaces &#124; find /i /c &quot;Adhoc&quot; &gt;NUL &amp;&amp; (
	Set /a onWifi=1
)

if !onWiFi! EQU 1 (
	echo *** We are connected to the Ad-Hoc network.	
	echo *** Checking for an alternative.
	for /F &quot;delims=: tokens=2&quot; %%N in (&#039;netsh wlan show networks^&#124;find &quot;SSID&quot; &#039;) do @(
		Set SSID=%%N
		if &quot;!SSID!&quot; == &quot; &quot; (
			REM -- echo Skipping Network: !SSID!
		) else (
			if /i &quot;!SSID!&quot; == &quot; !ADHOC!&quot; (
				REM -- echo Skipping ad-hoc !SSID!

				for /F &quot;tokens=*&quot; %%P in (&#039;netsh wlan show profiles^&#124;find &quot;!SSID!&quot; ^&#124;find /i /v &quot;!ADHOC!&quot; &#039;) do @(
					Set Profile=%%N
					Set Profile=!Profile:All User Profile     :=!				
					echo *** !SSID! is available
					Set ConnectNetwork=!SSID!
				)
			)
		)
	)
) else (
	echo *** We are not connected to any network.
	echo *** Try connecting to !ADHOC!
	for /F &quot;delims=: tokens=2&quot; %%A in (&#039;netsh wlan show networks^&#124;find /i &quot;!ADHOC!&quot; &#039;) do @(
		Set ConnectNetwork=%%A
		Set ConnectNetwork=!ConnectNetwork: =!
	)
)

if &quot;!ConnectNetwork!&quot; == &quot;&quot; (
	echo *** 	Sorry, no network could be found.
) else (
	echo *** Connecting to !ConnectNetwork!
	netsh wlan connect name=!ConnectNetwork! &gt;NUL 2&gt;NUL &#124;&#124; (
		echo Sorry, unable to connect
		exit /b 0
	)

		<description>Thanks for the tip.  I&#039;m on Ubuntu and I&#039;m using adhoc to share my internet with my wife&#039;s Vista computer and this will work great.

I would also like to do something like Abdel said with watching the connectivity.  Sometimes when I restart my computer (the one hosting the adhoc network and sharing internet) my wife&#039;s computer does not disconnect from the adhoc network but instead just switches to having limited connectivity.

I&#039;m trying to figure out if it&#039;s possible to disconnect and reconnect if there is limited connectivity.

Thanks!</description>

		<description>Very wise solution .. what about when disconnecting ?

I want to code a small tool to do that .. maybe watches the connectivity --&gt; if disconnected -&gt; Reconnect

Thanks a lot.</description>
