setting up an adhock network

Hello guys I am not sure **** I am doing wrong (excuse my language the stress is killing me). But when I try to create an ad hock net work. I typed in netsh wlan show drivers in the command prompt as an admin, and to see if my device supported the function
it said hosted network support: no . I updated my drivers, checked for updates, showed hidden drivers in the device manager, and I still do not have a the Microsoft hosted network virtual adapter, or Microsoft Wi-Fi direct virtual adapter 2. I just have Microsoft
Wi-Fi direct virtual adapter 1. I tried anyway but said hosted network could not be started the group or resources is not in the correct state to perform the request operation, because of the reasons above. My wlan is running on the services.msc.

my pc information is stated below: (if you need more info or questions about my pc please let me know if this info was not enough and you need more).

Product Name: HP 15 Notebook Pc

What are you needing help on? What you posted, states nothing about how the machines are connecting to the network.

Also helps to know printer model and mfg.

 

Ok, Sorry. It it connected via network cable that is connected by a router. The printer is an hp deskjet 1510 connected with a usb cable that does not have wireless capabilities. How do i do these things?

thx

 

How many machines are connected with an Ethernet cable? Have you followed the instructions for installing the printer and sharing it, as stated on HP's website?

 

3 pc's are connected. HP says it cant be done but I know it can be coz i had my laptop set up where it printed but since then, I updated the build of 10 on all 3 and forget how i did it. Some help plz guys?

thx

 

Only way to help is to answer the questions and follow the directions.

 

To start with, see the video in this post: Solved Windows 10 instructional videos by Ten Forums members - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

The video should show you the basics, how to set up your computers to be part of the same network. The tutorial mentioned in the video is long overdue, I will write it tonight or tomorrow and post link to it here when ready.

If you have any questions, something in the video not explained well enough, do not hesitate to ask. Post your possible questions in this thread of yours, not in the video thread.

 

Hi Kari, thx for responding. Right now, things seem to be set up correctly. The only things I am having issues with is on 1 pc, I am getting a msg of "windows cant access desktop, you do not have permission to access desktop" How do I fix this, plz?

Also, On my other pc that is not connected to my printer, I would also like to be able to print from it. thx

 

Turn on network discovery, turn on the file and printer sharing, turn on automatic setup for network connected device, turn off password, share the printer... do it on all units.

 

Did all this with same issues. Any way to fix this. 2 computers hooked up to my router connected with network cable.
