Re: Some questions about seting up wireless network between linuxand vista ;
Thanks alot for your attentions ;
1-When fisrt ad-hoc is set in vista ,should be all these steps done in linux :
ifconfig wlan0 down
/etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 channel 6
iwconfig wlan0 essid allah
iwconfig wlan0 key 12346
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1
2- Can channel be set anyone of numbers 1-13 ? Or channel is specified
by adaptor ?
3-first in vista ad-hoc wireless network has been created then in
linux after runnig above command ,linux has been connected to vista
but yet linux does not show vista shared folders ,what is/are the
reason/s ?
regards dehqan
