Delete Ad Hoc??

I have setup my laptop to serve an AD HOC computer-to-computer network for
temporary file sharing.

Now I want to get rid of it and I can't figure out how!

I setup a wireless network called "GRAPHICS" but I don't see any options to
delete it!

I've googled like crazy and all the answers I see are for deleting networks
from Preffered Networks under Wireless Network Connection Properties... this
is NOT what I need!! Even after deleting the network "GRAPHICS" from this
list it still shows up under "Available wireless networks" and I want to get
rid of it completely!

Thanks!

If it shows up in "Available wireless networks" most likely what you're
seeing is the *other* part of your ad hoc network. That is, you set up
an ad hoc network between your computer and something else (another
computer, a wireless printer, etc.). That other device is still making
itself known by broadcasting its SSID. You'll have to re-configure that
other device.

Actually I figured it out...

Its a ridiculous amount of lag between making a network setting change and
that change actually propagating across the network setup. I had it deleted
but it still showed up for over an hour...

Hi
If you reboot the computer it might go away faster.
In any case it is a Visual annoyance, and it does not effect performance.
