Ad-Hoc problem


i have 2 laptops and both have WLAN.
Laptop A has Ubuntu 7.10
Laptop B has Ubuntu 7.04

i am trying to link the 2 laptops using Ad-Hoc
Laptop A is the transmitter and B is the receiver

in A, i type "ifconfig eth2 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255 up"

B is now connected to "Test"
However, when i type "ping 10.10.10.254", it says:-
From xxx.xxx.x.xxx icmp_seq=2 Desination Host unreachable
From xxx.xxx.x.xxx icmp_seq=3 Desination Host unreachable
From xxx.xxx.x.xxx icmp_seq=4 Desination Host unreachable
and so on until i hot Ctrl + C

What is the problem?
pls help me

p/s :- i am used this website for instructions.

=Please post your thread in only one forum. Posting a single thread in the most relevant forum will make it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is a duplicate.

Additionally you seem to be starting new threads for very similar issues rather than following on a single thread. please stick to a single one whilst it's relevant.
