I am writing to present one problem
I have met when using the PPC.
I need to set up a WLAN ad-hoc
connection between a PPC and one Laptop. First
I use the PPC to create the SSID. Then with
the laptop, I can find the SSID and try to
connect with it. But the connection is not
satisfactory. As my laptop WLAN adaper is Intel
Pro 2200BG series, I can use Intel pro software
of Windows XP to set up the WLAN. When I
use intel pro, the connection just cannot succeed
and the IP address assigned is 0.0.0.0. When I
transfer to Windows XP, the connection is done
but intermittent. For this laptop, the 2200BG
driver version is 9.0.*.*. When I use another
laptop with the driver version as 8.0.12.20000, the
connection quality is much improved. But the
problem here is that this 8.0.12.20000 drive is
difficult to find for downloading, even on the
manufacture's website.
What is more, If I use
othe WLAN devices concurrently, such as a NetGear
external wireless adapter, the connection nentioned above
is very stable. Here I guess the problem may
lies in the PPC tranmitting signal power or
something. With the bridge of the netgear adapter,
the laptop can easily accept this signal. Is
this correct?
I am quite confused about the
problem. So if you know the related info or
any solving method, pls tell me. Thank you so
much!
