laptop as wifi router & atom connecting to it for internet

[sadhu_s60]

device - black atom using the latest jiggy ROM

purpose 1 - setup laptop to serve as wifi access point

purpose 2 - atom to connect to this accesspoint & use the lappy's net connection

--------

i hope i've been very clear bout my motive ....all this trouble cause i DONT hav a wifi router

---------

wat kinda net do i hav on my lappy -

cable net... no modem... cable connects directly to my pc's lan card... class-1 ip range... fixed ip (no dhcp obviously)

my ip - 10.10.16.149
subnet - 255.255.255.192
gateway - 10.10.16.129
dns - 10.10.0.1

---------

lappy setup as wifi accesspoint -

class-3 ip range... fixed

my ip - 192.168.0.1
subnet - 255.255.255.0
dns - 10.10.0.1

accesspoint type - ADHOC
authentication - open
encryption - disable

---------

atom setup -

network card connects to - The Internet

atom ip - 192.168.0.10
subnet - 255.255.255.0
gateway - 192.168.0.1
dns - 10.10.0.1

--------

when i turn on both lappy & atom wifi, atom detects the lappy accesspoint & connects to ....so far so good....

now i open atom's wifi utility & ping 192.168.0.10 (atom's own ip) & as expected i get 1ms response time

i ping 192.168.0.1 (pc's ip) .... NO RESPONSE !!!

--------

from lappy i ping 192.168.0.1 (lappy's ip) ..... 1ms

i ping 192.168.0.10 (atom's ip) .... NO RESPONSE !!!

------

even if i connect the lappy & atom thru DHCP, they cant ping eachother

-----

so wat on earth is going on?

i explained my motive & steps ....som1 pls help !!!

if this issue can b sorted, i believe this detailed post wud b helpful for the community even in future

Did you turn on ICS(internet connection sharing)?

Did you turn on ICS(internet connection sharing)?

enabling ICS wud reset all NIC ips to 192.168.0.1 ....but then the cable net wont work cause it needs predefined static ip :(

isnt there any 3rd party ICS app... or a software router emulator?

or somway i can connect the damn activesync thru wifi? u guys make ROMs... cant u make a activesync tat will work on wifi?

What LAN CARD does your LAPTOP use?

[jiggs]

you can only connect to activesync using bluetooth. not wifi.

Mine can..but i have conexant wlan on my mac.

[sadhu_s60]

i just tried on a frendz lappy with almost the same hardware..... same thing... no bloody ping !!!

i dont get it.... if a network connection is made, the least it shuld do is ping eachother..... how r they gettin connected if they cant ping eachother?
