Brandon, Please forgive the "obvious" questions: 1. Are you pinging using hostnames or ip addresses? 2. Does the result of 'ifconfig an0' show an ip address and netmask for the wireless interface? (I'm assuming the wireless interface is an0.) 3. Was the wireless interface configured manually or did you use dhclient? 4. Is the default gateway set? 5. Are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf correct? 6. Did you add the local network hosts to /etc/hosts? 7. Does your laptop have an active firewall that may be blocking packets?
