Saturday Eve
Creating 2 networks; infrastructure hotspot, and adhoc peer-to-peer.
Equipment
2 computers
XP home: using Linksys WMP54G, set to use B only
98se: using Linksys wmp11 B
Router: BEFsr11 one port router
Access point: Linksys wet11 Airlink
The router is connected to the Airlink and to a local wireless internet provider antenna: this is an open Hot-Spot.
The computers are separated by 1 floor and a brick wall.
Both computers can use the Hot-Spot connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am having trouble with the Ad-Hoc connection:.
The XP computer is using the Windows Wireless Configuration service.
(The Linksys WLAN configuration utility will not function.)
The 98 comp. is using the Linksys WLAN configuration utility.
I have entered the info for an Ad-Hoc network to link the computers, peer-to-peer.
Using the same SSID, WEP Shared encryption, 13 letter pass phrase, using channel 6.
The XP computer can find the network, indicates it is connected and not connected.
The 98 computer cannot find the shared network.
I figger this has something to do with DHCP since both computers are set to obtain an IP Address automatically.
I cannot determine a way to allocate static addresses, and subnet mask, for the Ad-Hoc network while allowing dynamic addresses for
the Hot-Spot network.
Guidance please.
