Windows only: WiPeer sets up wireless peer-to-peer networks between PCs, no router, access point or internet required.
You can use these ad-hoc networks to share files, chat and even play
games with other WiPeer users. Suppose, for instance, you’re at a lunch
meeting with some co-workers. There’s no Wi-Fi network to be found, but
you need to share some files. Instead of passing a USB flash drive
around the table, you could connect two or more machines via WiPeer.
Easy-peasy.
I was able to get the program up and running on two notebooks in
about three minutes, and it took only one minute after that to figure
out file sharing. This is an ingenious little application that solves
the problem of trying to link up two or more PCs without the usual
networking hassles.
WiPeer is free. It requires Windows XP and Microsoft .NET 2.0. Mac and Linux versions are in the works.
