How to create a wireless ad hoc for internet connection sharing in windows 8, 

Previously I've struggled to make ad hoc wireless in Windows 8, due to the usual network tools on windows 7 I do not find in Windows 8 (maybe I have not found it). But in windows 8 fixed features of ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), which means we can make sharing internet to other devices. 


Finally, thanks to the help of Google SE I can find how to create a wireless ad hoc in windows 8 this. Article originally prepared in the English language ( the source ), and I will try to make a tutorial in the Indonesian language.
