Does anyone have any idea's or solutions to this?
Problem is ad hoc networks are not recognised by Windows 8.1. (and not 8.0 apparently even though I've been doing it for 6 months or so??)

Have downloaded a program called WeFi as a temp solution, but lots of internet talk saying it's possible malware...
