Having followed the whole setup from the MS support site, read all the
manuals etc, I'm stuck with a problem.
I cannot get a laptop to work as a peer to peer ad-hoc network with a net
connected PC also with a wireless card. If I take the laptop to work, it
connects fine to the router, gets DHCP and everything. I can even ping the
ad-hoc connections from each other. But if I set up the net PC as a shared
dun connection, the laptop cannot see the net and no matter how much
ipconfig releasing, renewing and flushing I do, it simply cannot get a DHCP
address, even when I tell it the IP of the pc! And yet if I use a crossover
cable and change the connection in DUN to use the 10/100 LAN connection, ICS
works fine (sorry for all the acronyms!).
Any ideas? I've disabled and re-enabled and rebooted and checked and
rechecked.
