Ok,
As I wrote some time ago, I am trying to connect two pcs via wifi.
I can see the other card via iwlist device scan. But I can't ping each
other, this is what I get.
-----------------------------------------------------
So what do I need to do ? What more info should I send ?
Are they using the same channel, essid and Ad-Hoc mode?
yes, same channel, essid and both in Ad-Hoc mode. As I said, both machines
find each other w/ iwlist scan but cannot ping each other. Firewall
disabled. I actually managed to ping PC1 from PC2 just the once but then
it just stopped.
In the /etc/network/interfaces file, are your cards set to static or
manual? If static then I think you need to restart networking after
setting up the ip, netmask and gateway entries below that line. 'sudo
/etc/init.d/networking restart' If manual mode then you don't need to
restart networking. You have to manually set ip through 'sudo ifconfig
ethx address x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x '
