I have two wireless enabled computers that I want to connect. One, the laptop, I've used on the road with no problems linking to wireless networks. The other with an Asus P5B deluxe desktop wireless Motherboad. When I ran the Windows wizard to link them up "ad hoc" (linking them up just to themselves), the laptop repeatedly is trying to "aquire an network address" with no result. They both have excellent signal strength. The Mobo desktop already has a network address but not the Laptop. HELP! Thanks...... :?
