In an effort to get my canon 6d to connect to my Surface pro windows 8.1 system I have to create an adhoc network.
Ad-hoc networking has lost its graphical interface walkthrough thing in windows 8 so you have to do it using command line.

So I run the command prompt elevated and type
Code:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyWIFI key=MyPassword
I get a return back that it went ok.

Then I do
Code:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted nework couldn't be started
A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Can anyone help, I've found several guides and they all tell me to do it the same way but the hostednetwork just won't start :confused:
