Mobility Site - View Single Post - Need help with Wireless adhoc connection!

01-31-03, 12:33 AM

I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me with the following problem:

I am able to establish a wireless ad hoc connection between my latop and my Axim where I can ping the wireless nic on my laptop and vice versa. My Axim is assigned a static IP of 192.168.0.25 and my wireless nic on my laptop is assigned 192.168.0.20. However, if I then go and connect the built in 10/100 nic on my laptop to one of the switch ports on my Dlink router (my router is using the same subnet of 192.168.0.X and the router's built in DHCP server assigns IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.100-199) all of a sudden I can no longer ping the wireless nic on my laptop from my Axim...this doesn't make sense as I can't see how plugging in a wired connection into my laptop can wreak havoc on my wireless ad hoc connection....is there something I'm missing or misconfiguring here? Any suggestions??

Thanks...
