Your cards should have 2 options for communicating - infrastructre mode and ad-hoc mode. Infrastructure is where your laptops talk to a wireless access point on a LAN. Ad hoc is where your two laptops talk to each other wirelessly. Check the manuals that came with your wireless cards *or with your laptop if the cards are built in). The manual should be able to tell you how to set up in ad hoc mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
