i have two xp machine and they are all identical:same model, same make.
I have tried three different pairs of wireless adapters, connected via usb.

The firts pair: Belkin see each other ok and transmit/receive files ok, but the client can not connect to the net via the host (modem dial up) despite trying all different configuration.

The other two pairs one are linksys and others are net-gear, they are both installed ok and config. as ad-hoc, no wep etc but they will not see each others. in my network place they are there but report as media is not on?

What have I missed? plz help.

Not sure what the problem is, but, do the computers have File Sharing enabled? A computer will appear in My Network without file sharing, but you cannot see any of its files.

problem is the internet sharing.
thank for the reply but the belkins pair eventually worked.
