[Gllug] Wireless cards see each other, but I can't get them to ping

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

I'm trying to make a simple ad-hoc wireless network. One PC has an in-built card, the other has a PCMCIA card.
If I set the essid, channel and mode of the PCI card, then when I start the PCMCIA card syslog will show it sees the other card. All I need to do is set the right mode and essid, and syslog will report "Join command succesfully completed". iwconfig will report the same cell for both cards, andI think I'm home.

Then,
ifconfig eth0 192.68.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 
and
ifconfig eth0 192.68.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 
respectively, and try pinging, but the hosts are always unreachable :(

Can anyone help?
Regards,
Tom SW
