HI Mark...coming in late on this...why would you want to use ad-hoc instead of infrastructure?
Hello Leon:
I guess I'm just old and foolish. :->
All you should be able to do is create shares on each box and connect to them.
I'll have to take a look at this. I'm already
on the path of setting up a wireless router as
an access point as suggested by Ed. In that
case there would be no need to use ad-hoc.
In my network I have my os/2 box sharing all my directories on that box and all my wired and wireless clients connect to it.
The only problem here is that I have no box,
only a site where I will be bringing two
notebook computers each Monday. I was also
thinking about the possibility of using MFS
(Mobile File System) so that I could synch
all data after my two to three days out of
town each week. And, then there's point-to-
point tunneling for security. Where might
that fit into my plan?
I'm getting into several areas new to me at
the same time. Sure formula for disaster!
Maybe I should look into whether I could
store data with my ISP.
Thanks for your thoughts,
- Mark

The first problem is simply networking
the two laptops, a T30 with a Cisco
Aironet 350 card and a T43p with a built-
in Intel 2915abg.
I haven't yet tried to use the T43
wireless capability. I will begin with
it.
But, I did not yet have time to fully
develop (ha!) my understanding of TCP/IP.
So, that will also need to be a priority.
Thoughts, please. How should I organize
the process of setting this up?
Thank you in advance!

My recomendation would to be to install a "black box" access point - e.g from DLINK, Linksys, etc. All systems connected to the same AP should be able to be configured to share files.
Hello Ed:
How about a Belkin F5D7230-4 Wireless Router?
I've never succeeded in using it for anything.
Maybe this is where I will finally get started
with it. Are you suggesting that once I get it
configured I could just leave it plugged into
the wall and simply connect both notebooks to
it wirelessly any time I'm in the office? I
suppose I could also connect it to the aDSL
modem. However, I'm concerned about security
to a fair degree. Now that I think about it,
I believe the modem may have more than one
wired output (a simple switch?). I'll have to
look at it tomorrow. Am I on the right track?
Thank You,
- Mark
