Ad Hoc Wireless connections from Linux to Windows
Hustle! To setup an Ad Hoc wireless connection between windows and Linux, it spend me half an hour of trying just because desperately wanna get Internet access. I decided to write down because the steps are confusing.
First of all, let me explain why we wanna do this. My friend as a host notebook installed with windows XP, he has an wired Ethernet connected to his router , which is where he get the Internet access from. He has a internal wifi adapter which makes Internet share possible through wireless.
At my side, I have Linux installed with wifi adapter too (eth1). I would like to mention what tools and commands I use along the setup. I have gnome-network-manager installed, which uses nm-applet to help me connect access point with wpa encryption. I uses ifconfig to configure my IP address and uses iwconfig to check my wireless adapter information, and probably need to use route to set a default gateway.
Okay, lets get started.
