Steps to create a network between multiple laptops without a LAN cable in windows 7:

• Turn on Wi-Fi in laptop
• Open Network and Sharing center
• Click on “Setup a new connection or network”
• Select the option “Setup a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer) network”
• click next
• again click next
• Give unique network name
• Select “No Authentication” in security type
• Click next
• Your network is ready to use.

Now start the wi-fi of the another XP, Vista, Windows 7 OS computers and check for the available networks and you will be able to see the name of the connection created above. click on the connect and you are ready to use the ad-hoc network b/w multiple computers for gaming, sharing and other work.

ISSUES:

Only catch is this happens only when the network is created by a Vista or Windows 7 OS. If you create the network using XP then it may not work. network created using windows 7 or vista can be joined by all OS.

We’ll be working with the assumption that you already have at least one account set up and know your way around Outlook.

Before we begin, keep in mind that all the mails will be saved to a single Outlook Data file. If the mails need to be sorted by ID, separate folders with mail delivery Rules can be created. Furthermore, when composing a mail, make sure the appropriate mail ID to send from is chosen.

To set up your additional account:

1. Click Tools -> Account Settings

   

2. In the next window, click New.

   

3. In the next window, choose Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP and click Next.
4. Enter your details – Name, email address and password.

   

5. Outlook will now try to connect and send a test mail. If your details were entered correct, it should give you the option to close the window. Click Finish.

Given the simplicity of this process, any errors encountered would probably stem from the user name/password section.

With this, your accounts should all be sending their mails into a single Outlook account and the sync should be established both ways (sending and receiving). In case you wish to separate the mails into designated folders, follow these steps:

1. Open Tools -> Account Settings
   

   

2. In the new window, click Change Folder at the bottom of the window.

   

3. In the next window, select Personal Folders and click New folder. Give the new folder a name.

   

4. Click OK. Your new folder has been created. You can assign a folder to each account as necessary.

This should help you store your mails based on the address it arrives at. With all this done, there is no more need to log in and out of multiple accounts to check your mail.
