Both PCs are running Kubuntu Feisty. There is no firewall running on either machine while I am trying this stuff. Task 1 : to connect both PCs so that they can atleast ping each other. This is what I get.
For wireless link between 2 machines without an access point, both wireless devices need to run in Ad-Hoc mode, use the same ESSID, and the same channel.
In terminal: sudo iwconfig device mode Ad-Hoc essid net_name channel ..... Device is your device name.
Look up man iwconfig. Then run 'sudo iwlist device scanning' to scan for neighbouring devices. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
