Hi Chuck! It is Eric from Paris (you might recall having
saved a little of the hair left on my head by helping me
configure Wifi at home after Christmas!).

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

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.

OK, Eric,

I'm confused. I've never seen a PPP connection result in internet service
coming in by Ethernet. Maybe the route table will help explain things.

Please provide the route table for the host.
Start - Run - "route print c:\route.txt" - Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy
and paste into your next post.

Try and explain what the PPP adapter, and the Ethernet adapter, connect to. If
a cable, what's on the other end of the cable? Is there a modem somewhere?
Connected to what?

Can you access the internet from the host? Is ICS enabled between the PPP
adapter and the Linksys wireless adapter?

ICF should be enabled only on the PPP adapter. It will interfere with file
sharing and pinging if enabled on the adapter connecting to the client.

Cheers,
Chuck
