Creating ad hoc in win 8

OK, this is bugging me ever since I switched to win 8. The GUI interface for creating ad hoc in win 8 is gone. Using netsh utility seems to be creating an access point rather than an ad hoc network. I mean the clients are able to ping the host but not able to ping each other. PLease tell me if there's any third party software that creates an ad hoc network. LAN party has simple gone extinct in my hostel after the launch of win 8.

Try THIS

Downloaded. Will check if it allows me to ping between clients. Thanks.

Not working. Computers are getting connected fine but the internet connection can't be shared. They are gettig connected in limited mode>

Did you try the commands??
Also, what steps did you follow to share your net??
