Origo Wifi card networking adhoc to winxp &netgear
« on: August 29, 2004, 05:18:20 pm »
Have openzaurus 3.3.5 and edited files to get driver for my origo cf wifi card.
Trying to setup adhoc connection btween that and my winxppro netgear ma111 usb dongle.

have turned on internet connection sharing for my lan (as the pc connects to adsl router/modem) and netstumbler gets signal noise that clearly changes when my pda is moved further in the room yet cant ping 192.168.0.1  (the gateway) or even 192.168.0.2 (what the zaurus is set as)

have *nix friend helping and even he was a bit puzzled but then again its hard to tell if settings are wrong on the zaurus or on winxp.

the only thing we came up with was that some file needs editing so it automatically comes up as adhoc (goes to managed when plugged in) and with any ssid etc but that doesn't seem to be why we can't get connection working since we changed the settings to adhoc etc and still no luck on actual ping.

how to share internet is a secondary concern since we cant get the wifi network working right now. stumped (and in need of sleep) so was hoping by tomorrow there might be some answers here, maybe.

thanks if you do reply.
