[opensuse] To connect wireless between 2 notebooks
Hi all, I'm trying to connect between two notebooks using it's wireless. Someone told me to set the wireless to 'adhoc' mode. But, I don't think I can make it work, yet. Both are Opensuse10.2 and SLED 10 respectively. Any help is really appreciated.

By 'connect' you mean share files? Share printers? VNC? -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I plan to make those notebook as a testbed for Linux HA (High Availability), so, just be able to ping each other is enough. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 10:03pm up 5:46, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

Okay, that should be easy enough. So, in both instances you are setting up notebooks that are going through a router? If not, you need a router - either one of the notebooks, or another device/computer. At the very least - and I'm digging into my mid-90's experiences here, so I may be rusty - you should need a bridge. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kai, you missed the topic of his thread. He wants to use just two notebooks, no router stuff, no Access Point. Adhoc should do this.

AFAIK, it couldn't be done - unless - one of the notebooks acts as a router. I've never been able to do it successfully - in Windows or otherwise. I wonder if my Mac SE/30 would connect. -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well ad-hoc mode implies ALL machines are routers and clients as best as I can tell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad-hoc_network -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

It works - BUT - both the wireless chipset AND driver have to support ad-hoc mode. Some chips don't, many driver's don't. You need to research that first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Both your wireless chipset AND your driver need to support adhoc mode; so you probably want to check that out first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
