wireles peer-peer network

[sarip]

Sorry could somebody help me..please. I bought 2 802.11g
adapters, one for my pc and one for my laptop. I want to
setup a peer-peer network/adhoc between those two
computers. Both drivers installed perfectly. I've run the
windows networking wizard on both computer. The problem
is my laptop can'ts see my pc and vice versa on my
networking place.

Sarip,
From My understanding of the wireless Ad-hoc protocol, you
only need to use it if you have an adapter from 2 different
manufacturers at least that's the case with 502.11B *if* the adapters
aer from the same company I believe if you change the method to
infrastructure you should be all set.

Thanks for the reply, but correct me if i'm wrong, for
infrastructure network you do need an access point
whereas for peer-peer/adhoc you just need two wireless
card/adapter. Mine are both from same company/USR. I used
the USR utilities to set both comp on the same channel
etc.

please help more...
