coz adhoc PC TO PC works only for PC's..... it is a one time wireless connection from a PC wifi to another PC...
Try using a wifi router to connect ur phone and mobile

aakashdave11,

I don't agree that its a one time wireless connection. if you save the network, i would be connectable multiple times.

A AD HOC NETWORK is a one which changes constantly.....nodes may discharge and go out of range so the protocol is designed to run from the start every time you need to connect/create a conection everytime as it has to run the packet discovery service....if not then although the network will be up....no data transfer can be done
Hope this details would clear that up :)
