Hi, Ok, you have a wireless PCMCIA adapter in your laptop, and it's an ad-hoc network. Half of your local network is wire, half wireless... What is the access point it's using (or that you're intending)? A card in your desktop system? Not a gateway/router, or you wouldn't be using ad-hoc...? Can you describe more of what is between the Internet and your laptop (assuming you want to access the net from the laptop itself)? What other machines are in your home network? Which ones are wired to which ones? Are you running a DHCP server on one, or are all intended to have static IPs?
