Sudevji, I assume that you are using ubuntu.I have ubuntu on my notebook and the wireless card is configured as eth0
here is the contents of /etc/network/interfaces for reference -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces. # They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem. mapping hotplug script grep map eth0 # The primary network interface iface eth0 inet static # wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package wireless-mode managed wireless-essid xxxxxx address 192.168.2.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0> auto eth0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hve configured my network from the gui (System-->Administration-->Networking) You will have to only specify a static IP address on each machine abd change the wireless-mode managed setting to wireless-mode adhoc as long as the machines have an IP in the same range/subnet...they should be able to "talk" to each other.Think of Ad-hoc as a wireless "cross-cable". Ad-hoc is not ideal way to connect systems...as far as i know the speeds are not the excellent and the number of systems that can connect is limited to 3 (in terms of concurrent connections.....some sort of protocol limitation).This may have changed in the 802.11g standard...I remember messing with this in the older 802.11b cards and seeing this limitation. Hope this helps.
