Direct WLAN connection.

I hope some one can help me with this (or at least point me to a forum where I can get help). cause I already googled it, found bout 3 different explonations how to get it runing, but non works so far.

I got 2 laptops, and I am trying to connect em to each other with my WLAN cards. So far I didnt got it to right.
I Tryed: This,and, ohh all are german forum sry.

Well anyway, some one know how to make this work?

This is definately too much of german for me to handle :S And my knowledge of networks is weaker than my german...

My german sucks sorry, but i can some about network. I will just send the text to a friend of my to translate and i will answer

Yep I'm without German-reading powers too.

Netwrorks can be a real pain in the rear and WLAN doubly-so. Even when I think I'm 100% sure I know what I'm doing it confuses the hell out of me and doesn't work to the rules its meant to.

Rather than confuse you with my "half-knowledge" of it, if Nord knows someone who's down with this kind of stuff I'd wait for his response to be honest.

Its a little problem he is on easter holiday on the mountain os he only got his iphone with him so cant help before monday or tuesday most likely

Just downloaded this, the microsoft documantation on how to do it, but I fail at this (it even is in english) :
3. Creating an Ad Hoc Wireless Network on the ICS Host Computer
on the point 7. (In Network key, type the WEP key. The WEP key should be a random sequence of hexadecimal digits or numbers, letters, and punctuation.)

It does not wan to take any key!

@LW nice new profile picture.

cheers mate, felt like a change ^^

As for the WLAN/Wifi network is this any help? click here for video

The first half of the video you've probably done, its the 2nd half that will be more use to you I think as that speaks about WEP etc

Thx. but didnt help. I am not using a ruter, I have to make my wlan card act as a router (I guess)
Arr.

You're not using a router? how is your computer connecting to the internet then?

If you're using WLAN you need a Wireless router (or a router with Wireless Access enabled) for it to connect to.

simple I am NOT using welan for internet ^^ I have a stick for mobile internet. hehehe

Aaaaah right so its mobile broadband you're using then.

That's entirely different and, I'm afraid, you need to contact the supplier as they all have their own set of rules. What might work for one probably won't work for another

Let the internet aside for a while. ...

I have laptop 1. and laptop 2. , both have a WLAN card (Wireless).
I heared that it is possibile to connect the 1. and 2. with the WLAN directly, (like when you use the normal LAN and connect em witha cable) for file sharing and such.

I think i have done that before, but i think its easier to use cable have done that some few times

If you're just after networking the two laptops together, without the net (for the time being) go with a cable and use the ad-hoc option, far easier than WLAN.

Although, saying that - a router is even easier - and faster.


Oh, and more expensive


I have no knowledge on setting up ad-hoc networks though mate, sorry.

It definetly is easyer with cable! xD PAP (Plug And Play, or the more common use Plug And Pray!)

Might be but cable is so retro! Besides I move my laptop a lot trough the house, From one table to a other to learn and such, and at these times I still wan to have to be abel to connect to the other laptop.

I found THIS, but I bet its not that easy
