I have read more and made some progress ;}
I am using Debian 9.8 {Stretch} with MATE desktop on two Lenovo laptops.
As I used Networkmanager to create the ad-hoc network, I only have WEP
*NOT* WPA at the moment [but have info on doing WPA].
[see
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#WiFi_can_scan.2C_but_not_connect_using_NetworkManager_.28Debian_9_Stretch.29
on how to overcome a connection problem.]
My stated goal is file sharing on a peer-to-peer network with exactly
two nodes. The unstated purpose of chosen method is understanding
networks. Traveling down memory lane to early 60's, I can see this as a
Sophomore/Junior E.E. lab {Cornell's B.S.E.E. program was 5 years at the
time ;]
Since I last posted, I've discovered "Open Systems .Interconnection
(OSI) Model".
I would like to be pointed to material on creating an appropriate P2P
network with a preference to sources tied to OSI.
{References to servers/clients, switches, routers, un-listed hardware,
etc are _*VERBOTEN*_!}
TIA
