How can i create ad hoc network

This worked great and I was able to connect my ipad to ad hoc; however, once I reboot my laptop, the ad hoc is gone. Worked great for me. How can I do that? But when I connect to my devices,they connect but no Internet access. Did everything but not getting it to work. Do I have to do it on every restart? I created the connection and it worked perfectly, but the connection disappeared when I restarted my computer.

How can I save it? Hi Ali, If Network is created properly through command prompt the drop down starts showing automatically. When I try to connect my iPhone 6 to my ad hoc, the password keeps coming up as incorrect, even though it is the password I have used on the command prompt.
