hi, if anyone could help me out with this one I'd be gratefull
Last year I set up a home network (2 desktop PC's, ad-hoc wirelessly) everything worked fine. Sharing internet connection etc. I then moved back to uni for a year and in that time my dad got a new pc. I have now come home, reinstalled the wireless adapter back into the new computer (both computers use D-Link DWL-G520's) and now there is a problem.
I have read many articles on the web about setting up adhoc networks and I just can't seem to fathom it out. The two adapters have their own unique IP's with the same subnet both on same channel and they are set to 'ad-hoc' mode and appear to recognise each other. Yet for some reason the client/second computer will not access the internet. Internet sharing is enabled in windows. My knowledge is rather limited im afraid. I've pinged from the host to the client and it says 'destination net unreachable' packets sent 4, received 4. What this means im not 100% sure.
Any advice??? its pretty annoying how it worked only a few months ago.
Cheers....
