I plagiarized this from an article last year
In an AD-HOC network there is no DHCP server. You set one computers NIC to something like 192.169.1.100 Subnet 255.255.255.0 and the other to
192.168.1.110 Subnet 255.255.255.0 and the two wireless adapters to AD-HOC Mode, channel whatever you want and there you go. Here is a good article on how to setup a AD-HOC network.
