Wifi works.. but not really


I'm trying to connect to my computer with a nokia 9500 but it just isnt working, I have my ralink card set up and an ad-hoc network set up. The network appears on my phone and i can connect to it and the connection seems to be active but i just cant get any information out of it, for example connecting to the apache server running on my computer just doesnt work, neither does ssh. I cant ping my phone either (i think i did once but that was it) but that might have something to do with the phone not responding to them.

I cant ping my computer from the phone because the phone i have has a rare symbian operating system that not many people write software for and the few people who do seem to get away with charging $29.99 for a ping utility LMAO. Anyway they are not getting my $29.99

My network has no security or filters or any of that crap because i live in the middle of nowhere and the signal wont even get to the road.

Of course i want to be able to just surf the internet & send emails with my phone but first i want to be able to connect to servers running on my own comp. so what is wrong with it? cuz i havnt a clue

Code:
ra0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:F6:0F:F1:DD
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:f6ff:fe0f:f1dd/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
