Post subject:  Connect Win XP with Win CE 5.0

Hi all,

I've got a laptop running Windows XP and a tablet running Windows CE 5.
I'm trying to connect them over an ad hoc wireless network, but I can't get it to work.

I have set up the ad hoc network as per these instructions, both the laptop and the tablet are connected to this network, and both assign themselves IP addresses. I cannot ping the laptop from the tablet...

Any ideas about what I may be doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Ben

First thing I usually check is firewalls. Do both IP's appear in the "friends" lists on the machines.

depends what firewalls you having running just make sure that you have both machines in their range of friendly IP's - its caught me out a couple of times.
