    I've been playing around with Windows Meeting Space in a room with no wireless internet access, and was wondering if there was any way/program which would allow the creation of a similar ad-hoc wireless network but allow all members to chat in a common room, rather than only individually to each other.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    Read the manual. Just have everyone join the same session, and you should be able to have up to 9 people on the same ad-hoc network.

    This I know, but you can only seemingly message one person at a time, rather than having everyone talking to everyone at once
