Hi all,

I have the SanDisk SDI/O WI-FI card in my XDA2. It is great when using a wireless access point but I am having problems trying to set up an ad-hoc peer-to-peer network using it.

I have tried all the different orders of doing this but it all end with the same symptoms.

Set up and adhoc network on my XPSP1 laptop (called ADHOC).
Set up an identicallynamed adhoc network on my XDA2.

It matters not if I use WEP or not.

The laptop/XDA2 appear to connect to themselves. The laptop just sends packets but recieves none. The XDA2 just has a red cross over a lock where the usual wireless icon is at the bottom rioght of the screen.

I appear completely unable to get them to talk to each other! Both have an IP though (I presume self assigned). Using ICS makes no difference.

Has anyone gottent his working?

Cheers - Rich
