Hi Chuck! It is Eric from Paris (you might recall having

configure Wifi at home after Christmas!).

I am trying to setup a similar network (2 PCs) at our

Hi Eric!

I'm a little unsure what you're trying to do here, and
how your network is
setup. But I'll start with a few guesses.

Please describe the physical setup first. I see the
wireless adapter on the
host, and another on the client. And the PPP adapter on
the host. I am
guessing it's a peer-to-peer wireless setup?
Yes it is a p2P wireless setup: ADSL comes in through the
PPP host adapter, via Ethernet (which I guess explains why
there are THREE adapters on the host).

If peer-to-peer, are you then running ICF on the host?
But the client is
clearly not getting its settings from the host. So my
guess is they're not
connecting wirelessly.
Yes ICF is running on the host. I show a connection on
both the host and client, ad-hoc automatic WEP-key, but no
pinging possible.

Did you configure the wireless adapter (on each computer)
as adhoc
(peer-to-peer)? Are they on the same channel? With the
same SSID? Can you
tell if the client is associating with the host?
No association: I can't ping either computer from the
other (Host timeout error msg).

Why do you have 2 network connections on the host (3
including the PPP adapter)?
See my explanation above.

Are you just intending to share internet service? Or
will you be doing file
sharing too? What does the third connection do?
Yes we plan to share Internet/files and the printer, but
will just happy with ICS fro now!
Do these answers help?
Cheers.

Cheers,
Chuck
