I’m having problem with a peer to peer wireless connection on Xp

Hello
I read your article and it seems quite helpful. I’m having problem with setting up a peer to peer wireless connection between a notebook (Fujitsu-Siemens amilo 7400) and an Acer aspire one through their wi-fi’s.
Here’s the information on both systems you may like to know:

-wireless adaptor on systems: works fine and turned on
-Os: both Xp – sp3
-Tcp/ip: set to 192.168.0.10 and 11
-SSID: myClass
-Network authentication: open
-Data encryption: Disabled
-Connection tab: Connect when this network is in raange check box is on
-Advanced setting: computer to computer (ad hoc) networks only mode selected
-automatically connect to non-preffered networks checkbox off
-firewall setting off
-antivirous deactivated
-administrator password: none

the problem I’m having is that when I get “wireless network connection status” there are some sent but there is no reveived it is zero no matther how much time passes.
I also should say that if I ping the other system IP address from each notebook the received changes for each time ping does the action.
Also in network places -> view workgroup computers I just see the notebook I’m working with and not the other one. (Sometimes after some time passes the Acer one shows the other notebook but when I click on the other system to view the content it gives me an error as: \\Notebook1 is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administor….
The network path was not found.

I would highly appreciate any help in this regard.
