7. Go to enable Internet Connection Sharing
When the hosted network is started, enable ICS for newly created Wi-Fi connection for your currently-active internet
connection. Simply head over to Network & Sharing Center, and in the properties for the current internet connection,
enable ICS. Make sure to select the ad hoc connection under Home networking connection.
Now you can join this newly created Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and use the wirelss photo
transfer app to move photos and videos around them.

The password is set the same time when you set up the ad hoc spot. It is 12345678 in this demo.

Go to Device Manage on Windows 8 -> Network Adapters, find the virtual wi-fi adapter with a down arrow
above, right click on it and you will see the option to enable it.
After that your ad hoc connection should be displayed in the Network & Sharing Center again.
also the next time, if you like to stop the ad hoc connection, use the commend below:
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

Thanks for this article. Everything worked. I have a question though:
How do you add the devices with different ips to your home network. For instance I have a media player that
uses the hostednetwork from my pc, but it has a different Ip. I would like to transfer content form my pc to the
media player, but I cant seem to find the media player in my network. Any tips/advice/help? Thanks in advance

You can try these steps to make the ad-hoc work again:
Go to Device Manage on Windows 8 -> Network Adapters, find the virtual wi-fi adapter with a down arrow
above, right click on it and you will see the option to enable it.
After that your ad hoc connection should be displayed in the Network & Sharing Center again.
