Please help me...
Me and my friend both have wireless network cards; he has a Netgear 108mb/s and i have a Foxconn 54mb/s. He is running Windows XP whereas i am running Windows 2000 Pro.
I just cannot get them to communicate, or to set-up so that we can see each others shared files, i.e. music and videos.
I have abandoned trying with the Windows network set-up tool, as it just doesn't like to work, and XP always wants to create a file to put onto a flash drive, but i dont know how to use it.
Using the cards programs, (Netgear and Foxconn) i have set all the settings identically; so that there is 64bit WEP encryption (same password), ad hoc settings.
I have the settings as:
SSID: PEERLINKUP
Operating Mode: Ad Hoc
Channel: 1
Tx Rate: Auto
What else can i do. It says on each of the respective programs that there is a connection, but i cannot exchange files or anything.
I am a complete newbie to wireless networking, but thought it would be much simpler than it is turning out to be.
I shall soon be getting a mac mini and will want that set up wirelessly so i can share files!
Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Cheers
Ian
