Fedora Core 2 With Wireless Ad-hoc ~~ Wep Problem
Hello!
I have 2 computers at home: one desktop with WinXP with SP2 installed and a laptop with Fedora Core 2. I'm trying to install my wireless connection between them. Since I own a Speedtouch 330 ADSL USB modem connected to my desktop computer and can't afford to buy a router, I'm used to share Internet connection using ICS. I've just configured RH to wireless with the following commands: iwconfig wlan0 essid name iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 up (since using ICS the desktop adapter becomes 192.168.0.1...) I use ndiswrapper to install my DLINK DWL-G650+ wireless PCMCIA adapter. The problem is that I usually use WEP encryption open with a ascii "passwrd". When I try to put the command iwconfig wlan0 key s:passwrd open, I loose my connection and can ping the gateway at all. Of couse, I configure the desktop wireless connection with WEP open and passwrd key. What is the problem here? I just can't make it work and I'm pretty worried since I don't feel safe at all without encryption here. Thanks for your help. |
