Hey there, I have a debian server running under my bed on one side of the house, and a ubuntu desktop running on the other side of the bed. Is there a fast way to access it directly, without the router?(which I have suspect is slowing down the speed of transferring files dramatically.)

I have a lot of large files I want to transfer (mostly music and videos). I cannot use Ethernet because the server's Ethernet port was burned out after a surge on the bell line on my telephone line (it broke my old router too).

Thanks,
John H.

You need to set your wireless card to ad-hoc mode or even better master mode (not supported by all device drivers). Check out this blog for clues:
