Easy Peer-to-Peer Wireless Network

WiPeer is a simple little program that enables serverless peer-to-peer networks using wireless cards, and I could see this being really handy.

– You are visiting your friends and would like to transfer photos of a shared trip from your laptop to theirs. Wouldn’t it be great if you could share your files with them directly from one computer to the other?

– You are sitting in a boring lecture. You and your friends all have laptops, but your university has not installed an access point in the lecture room. Wouldn’t it be great if you could play a game of Chess or Reversi against them, or even gossip with them about yesterday’s football match?

– You are stuck in an airplane for a long flight and you are looking for something to do. If you could only play a game of Chinese checkers with other passengers…

– You have a home network, or even a small office network, and you’d like to share files among your computers without having to set up a dedicated server. There has to be a simple way of doing this.

That seems cool. I downloaded it just to have on my laptop, but I haven’t installed it. Have you tried it yet?

Easy stuff for Mac users. Just select “Create Network” from the airport menu…
