Here is a link to the Dell web site.
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=R151517According to Dell, the specific instructions mare in the setup for the wireless card for the laptop.
Wireless routers are super cheap used on eBay. So I have not played with the direct PC to PC mode. I currently use two routers. Only one is needed. But you did not say if you have a router.
I have a different Dell laptop with a card from a different source.
But the general idea is that you have to create a profile for the kind of connection your want and you will have to do it for both computers.
The normal is
infrastructure. (If you have a router)
But you want a new profile for
Ad hoc. (If you have just two PCs and no router.)
I have never done Ad hoc myself, so I am not so good about telling you want to do next. Each wireless adapter has its own setup menu. Below is a screen shot I just now took on my wireless setup from the task bar. Yours will be different. One of the options is to make a new profile. For Ad hoc you have to invent a SID to identify new connection and profile. Just pick a simple name. At first ignore the security settings. Change them after you get it to work. That is as much as I can tell you.
