Hi.
All Entry Level Wireless allow Ad-Hoc connection between two computers.
Very few allow Ad-Hoc for more than two.

I hate to say it but i've been a fool. The reason that the XP Pro machine wasn't correctly connecting - showing any files is because i'd incorrectly entered the WEP 128bit key by one letter, however XP still lets you connect, not saying that that is a wrong key! Whereas the other machines all used Linksys setup software and therefore didn't have to enter the wep key - only a passphrase. Now i have a Ad-Hoc 3 way network!
