Hi Eric!
I'm a little unsure what you're trying to do here, and how your network is
setup. But I'll start with a few guesses.
Please describe the physical setup first. I see the wireless adapter on the
host, and another on the client. And the PPP adapter on the host. I am
guessing it's a peer-to-peer wireless setup?
If peer-to-peer, are you then running ICF on the host? But the client is
clearly not getting its settings from the host. So my guess is they're not
connecting wirelessly.
Did you configure the wireless adapter (on each computer) as adhoc
(peer-to-peer)? Are they on the same channel? With the same SSID? Can you
tell if the client is associating with the host?
Why do you have 2 network connections on the host (3 including the PPP adapter)?
Are you just intending to share internet service? Or will you be doing file
sharing too? What does the third connection do?
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
