Hello all

I would like to link my two laptops with a wifi network :
PC n°1 : SuSE 9.2 Pro 64 bits, a wifi PC card built with chipset rt2500 
(module rt2500 up to date)
PC n°2 : SuSE 9.3 Pro 32 bits, a wifi PC card built with chipset rt61 (module 
rt61 up to date)

On each PC, there are eth0 (ethernet) and ra0 (wifi) interfaces. The IP 
addresses are :
PC n°1 : eth0 with 192.168.1.101 (mask 255.255.255.0), ra0 with 192.168.1.201 
(mask 255.255.255.0),
no gateway, mode Ad-Hoc and no WEP key for wifi.
PC n°2 : eth0 with 192.168.1.102 (mask 255.255.255.0), ra0 with 192.168.1.202 
(mask 255.255.255.0),
no gateway, mode Ad-Hoc and no WEP key for wifi. 

On PC n°1, there is an ADSL modem, plugged on eth0 and whose IP address is 
192.168.1.1. About firewall, ra0 is put in internal area without protection 
on each PC.

Normally by doing a ping -I ra0 192.168.1.202 from PC n°1, I should get an 
answer ... like by an ethernet cable link. But NO !!! I get this :
ping -I ra0 192.168.1.202
PING 192.168.1.202 (192.168.1.202) from 192.168.1.101 ra0: 56(84) bytes of 
data.
From 192.168.1.201: icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.201 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.201 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.201 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.201 icmp_seq=6 Destination Host Unreachable

That's curious. No better effect with a gateway 192.168.1.201 put on PC n°1. 
Am I forgetting something in network configuration ? If I put a name in ESSID 
for PC n°1 for example, from the other PC I can see the name. So it seems 
that wifi on each PC is OK but something is missing or is not properly 
working. Any idea ?? A problem of firewall ? I put ra0 of each PC in internal 
area, so it should not be a problem at this level. But ....

Thanks

Pascal
