Wifi network recognised but can't share Internet

Hi oeple! I have installed a wireless network and both
host and client indicate a connection, but I can't ping
either PC from the other. Can someone indicate what I am
doing wrong (I disabled the Trendmicro FW). Host is
running XP Pro and the client W2K. Cheers.

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.
Here are the Ipconfig files (host, under XP Pro) first:

Eric,

How are the two PCs connected? Thru a router? Direct
cable (which as to be a
cross-over)?

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open
c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

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?

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.

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?

Why do you have 2 network connections on the host (3 including the PPP adapter)?
Are you just intending to share internet service? Or will you be doing file
sharing too? What does the third connection do?

Cheers,
Chuck

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

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.

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.

Chuck

Hi oeple! I have installed a wireless network and both
host and client indicate a connection, but I can't ping
either PC from the other. Can someone indicate what I am
doing wrong (I disabled the Trendmicro FW). Host is
running XP Pro and the client W2K. Cheers.

Eric,

How are the two PCs connected? Thru a router? Direct
cable (which as to be a
cross-over)?

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open
c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Cheers,
Chuck

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?

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.

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?

Why do you have 2 network connections on the host (3 including the PPP adapter)?
Are you just intending to share internet service? Or will you be doing file
sharing too? What does the third connection do?

Cheers,
Chuck

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

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.

as adhoc
(peer-to-peer)? Are they on the same channel? With the

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.

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.

Chuck
