You are right, apologies for not mentioning that. What I ve done (which 
seems to be working now) is that (using the gnome network settings 
dialog) I am assigning a static IP leaving blank the ESSID field. 
Activating the interface and changing the mode to ad-hoc. Both in the 
client and the server. After a while an iwconfig gives me that ESSID is 
something like Private Interferometer Network.... A quick google did not 
yield any results.... so I am guessing that the machines in ad-hoc  mode 
create a network between them.

Thanks again.
