Re: WIFI as non anhoc
The reason companies lock you out of ad-hoc networks is because there are a lot of hackers out there who share their internet on their laptop as 'Free Public WiFi' then capture/sniff all the traffic of the people who think it's "legit" - all the while capturing any weak and clear-text passwords, as well as unsecured laptop file security.
If you know enough not to connect to those things, ad-hoc is just fine. Restore the registry when you're done with your cell phone and work is none the wiser. :P
Then again, I know our IT guy.
