how to set up a shared mac/pc wifi network to run arraysync?

Post by mkokm » April 9th, 2015, 4:04 pm

I'm an artist using arraysync for the last couple of years, and I'm really happy with it - thank you!
Up to now I've been syncing video between two mac laptops - creating a wifi network between the server and the client.
example - http://ltactions.com/console-and-tent-2

In my latest project I'd like to include a pc ... my question is how to create a wifi network that includes pc and macs?
For mac laptops I just use the "create network" option under system preferences/ network - very straight forward.
But I've been trying to find easy solutions for creating a mac and pc shared wifi network without much luck.

any help very appreciated.

I usually recommend people don't rely on computer-to-computer networks but rather use a dedicated wireless router or access point. They can be gotten for so incredibly cheap these days and solves a lot of headaches. Here is one for only $20.

Better still would be to not rely on WiFi at all if possible. It's always best to hardwire the machines into the router if that's possible for you.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.
