Remco, Thanks a lot for your answer.I appreciate that. I want to verify something (which might seems silly to others): > configure one interface using iwconfig. can you be more specific: should I use iwconfig eth0 or: iwconfig wlan0 should I run (as a minimum): iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc iwconfig wlan0 essid myHomeNet or iwconfig eth0 mode Ad-Hoc iwconfig eth0 essid myHomeNet > bring up the interface. you mean ifup eth0? or ifup wlan0?? (I assume this is not the case).

(I only used wireless-tools like this, so open/shared network, with/without WEP configured through iwconfig) - make sure both interfaces are down. - configure one interface using iwconfig. - bring up the interface. (I'm not sure if it needs to have an IP address at this point, that's something to try out) Possibly the ifconfig/iwconfig steps need to be swapped. - as described in the nabble post, the adapter will first try to find an existing ad-hoc network. If it finds one it should be displayed in iwconfig. If the adapter can't find a suitable ad-hoc network, it should set one up by itself. - After some time iwconfig should show an ad-hoc network. (either the one it found, to which it should now be connected, or the one it created, to which others should now be able to connect) As long as iwconfig shows 00:00:00:00:00:00 you're not connected and your adapter didn't create an ad-hoc network either. When iwconfig shows someting other than 00:00:00:00:00:00 you can bring up the second adapter, it should find the network set up by the first. I'm not sure how long it takes to find / set up a network, but don't count in seconds. On the other hand, ten minutes would be rather long. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[zd1211-devs] Setting Ad-Hoc connection between two linux machines,both with zd1211 USB stick
Helllo, I have Fedora Core 4 and have wireless-tools-28-0.pre4.3 installed. I want to set up a wireless Ad-Hoc connection between two linux machines which have the a wireless usb zd1211 stick. I downloaded, built and modprobe the driver (modprobe zd1211) and it went ok I am using the latest dirver from: http://zd1211.ath.cx/download/zd1211-driver-r74.tgz Can anybody please guide me, step by step, what should I do to set up such a connection? (I am a quite a noobie in this.) Should I first run "ifconfig wlan0 up"? Should I set an IP by ifconfig wlan0 myIPAddress? Should I use iwpriv wlan0 connect? BTW,I am aware of the following thread from this list reagrding AdHoc (from 13/10/2005) but it did not help me much: http://www.nabble.com/AdHoc-problem-%28bug-%29-t405144.html Regards, Ian B. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
