I just bought an linksys WAP11 & WMP11 and just want to link a PC (XP)
and laptop (W2K) for filehsaring etc. At the moment I don't have a hub
and I that might be a problem?
The WMP11 is installed in the PC and it detects the ESSID from the WAP
no problem. I turned of the 'use windows to confiure my wireless
network setting' option as many user seem to recommend.
The WAP11 is connected to the laptop using a crossover cable. I did al
IP settings manually as follow:
Laptop: 192.168.0.1
WAP11: 192.168.0.255
WMP11: 192.168.0.131
PC: 192.168.0.10
All on subnet 255.255.255.0 of course!
When I ping the WMP11 from the laptop I can actually see the WMP11
receiving (using the statusmonitor) the corresponding packages. But
that as the best I got so far! The ping command returns reuest
timeouts. I have tried several other comibinations but nothing seems
to work.
Do I just HAVE to buy a hub? Can this be any kind of hub (cimple and
cheap) or can the PC somehow be setup to do this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
