Hi all,
I have a Fedora machine connected to the internet over a lan, and am trying to make this into a gateway machine for my laptop with a linksys USB wireless lan adapter.
I have managed to get the driver for a Linksys WUSB11 V2.6 loaded and I now have wlan0 all setup and ready to rock.
The windows laptop with a netgear card pops up a message saying that it has found the linksys ad-hoc network and has excellent signal strength. However, I am unable to ping it. I suspect some kind of routing problem?
The fedora machine has eth0 as 10.0.0.8 and connects to the internet via an ADSL router on 10.0.0.2. wlan0 is set to 192.168.0.1 (different IP range to keep the lan and wlan separated) and the windows laptop is 192.168.0.2.
Why can't I ping 192.168.0.1 from the laptop when it says it can see the linksys network!?
Hope you guys can help,
Cheers.
