Of course I googled for it. It is not applicable to this situation. My windows 8 CAN connect to wifi but apart from N9 hotspot. In fact it can connect with BB10's hotspot. So N9 side it has problem as well.
I appreciate your help, but remember not everyone ask question here haven't googled for answers.

So was a sol'n to this ever found, Win7 works but supposedly Win8's still problematic w/ad-hoc, how to get around that?
(2)
Also, can anyone point to a sol'n for OSX, having some issues with that, surely ad-hoc support is built-in or available via 3rd-party sw?

It's probably because they don't support ad-hoc "out of the box"...
According to this thread even Win8 doesn't work, it's visible, but it doesn't actually work.
*BUMP* to my post....

Dispite win 8 says it can connect to ad hoc.
Still no fix.
