Ok,
As I wrote some time ago, I am trying to connect two pcs via wifi.
I can see the other card via iwlist device scan. But I can't ping each other, this is what I get.
So what do I need to do ? What more info should I send ?
Are they using the same channel, essid and Ad-Hoc mode?
yes, same channel, essid and both in Ad-Hoc mode. As I said, both machines find each other w/ iwlist scan but cannot ping each other. Firewall disabled. I actually managed to ping PC1 from PC2 just the once but then it just stopped.
FWIW, both cards seem to work because I have a Zaurus running OpenZaurus w/ Wellenreiter and I can sniff out both wifi cards (not to mention quite a few other APs).
The 2 PCs are in adjacent rooms about 7 - 8 meters apart.
thanks,
Sharukh.
