Can I establish file sharing between 2 notebook via WIFI ?

frenchn00b · 04-01-2009, 03:31 PM

Hello,

We have 2 computers, http://www.planet-notebook.com/image...o_tp_t61_2.jpg, T 61, that we would like to send files from one pc to the other one, and this via Wifi.

Is that possible?

We have no routers, just in a "desert", and 2 notebooks.
thanks in advance

Do you have the driver for the wireless adapter?

What is the output of "lspci -vv" and "lspci -n"?

What is the output of "lsmod"?

What is the output of "dmesg"?

Help us to help you by giving us more information.

Wish you had said that in the original post. I could have saved you some time. All you need to do is create an Ad-Hoc network.

Knowing the correct term is half the battle as they say. You want to setup an Ad Hoc network like:
