On my office we have 2 Siemens Amilo Pro notebooks I want to link in a wireless LAN.
I set IP1=192.168.136.100 /255.255.255.0 and IP2=192.168.136.101/255.255.255.0,
two different computer names, the same W1(network name SSID) wireless conection (mode 802.11g &802.11b) as following:
-computer to computer (adhoc)
-automatically connect to non-prefferd networks
-Data encrypption(WEP enabled)
-Network authentication(Shared mode)
-The key is provided for me automaticaly
On both computers the result is Signal strength:Excellent and the wireless connection enabled
(the wireless device is Intel Pro/wireless 2200BG network).
I set up further an office connection, disabling LAN connection (with NIC) and Irda connection and providing
just a wireless connection.
I disabled WXP SP2 firewall on both but I cannot see smth. in My network places to do a file copy from a share directory to other laptop.
What to do?

do you have the file and printer sharing service turned on?

Yes, of course!Even Intel asked me smth. like that:
"Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support.
Please note that File and Printer Sharing is a Microsoft* service,
therefore we would suggest contacting Microsoft or the computer
manufacturer for support on this issue."
In case I made a LAN connection with the 2 notebooks on their NIC's they "see" each other so the sharing is on! But in case of wireless not!

well you do have to turn off the microsoft firewall for each connection. so even if you turned it off for the NIC you still have to turn it off for the wireless.

ok,
I saw a lot of mess regardinf turning off the firewall! How to do that? IN the lower right cornet I pointed him and put it off, but afterwards in other windows I saw him is on! Maybe is wireless firewall conection????ANd what I set off infact is NIC"s firewall?
How to set him off for all connections? In fact I think I made it off but smt. put it on! -
