Wireless networking

[David]

I have a desktop pc with a wireless pci card. I also have a
laptop with a wirless card. I am running windows xp home on
both machines. Both wireless cards are working. I notice
they are transmitting but not receiving. I don't believe it
is necessary to buy a wirless hub or router. If they will
work peer to peer with a nic card why won't they work
wireless? How do I set up my machines to work. I only have
the two computers.

adhoc mode then all network settings (ip address, subnet etc) are the same
as when you had them connected nic to nic.

Ensure the XP ICF is off on both nics.
