http://askubuntu.com – I have two laptops (both wifi enabled) and a wireless router. I want to use one of the laptop on a robot and other laptop to SSH into the first one. My question is that is it possible to connect the two pcs even if I dont have a modem or internet and just use the wifi router? If so how to do that? I learned about the ad-hoc network, but i am unable to create an ad-hoc network on my macbook pro 6'2 with ubuntu 11.10, so i need an alternate method. Please help. (HowTos)

Guys, I was trying to connect my Arc to my laptop wifi after sharing the internet connection from the wireless ad-hock network creation wizard but I couldn't find the network in the wireless list on my device. so If you don't have a WiFi router, but your PC is WiFi enabled, you can use Virtual WiFi Router to allow other WiFi devices to use your connection.

I made some search and I got that ap

Bridging wireless networks? 38 weeks 6 days ago

Hi guys.

I don't know much about wireless, so here is a question for you all.

I recently moved to a new place, which is cool. Unfortunately the modem sits in one end of the apartment and the office is at the opposite end, and routing an Ethernet cable is pretty tricky since I rent and can't really drill holes in the wall.

Hi Everyone, I'm starting a new thread coz I couldn't find the answer in anywhere.

The problem is wireless internet slows down on my laptops considerably as soon as OpenSuse is logged in.

I have A desktop dual boot with Win7 & OpenSuse11.1 (ethernet connection to the router) TWO laptops with WinVista (wireless 802.11)

Hi all I have a weird problem. My Internet connection just seems to die after a few minutesof operation. If I reboot the desktop, or the wireless router or even just disconnect and reconnect the wireless network it seems to reset and internet works again for a while.

I know this is not an Ubuntu problem as it also happened under Windows XP.

So I'm in a temporary situation. If I get the answer later, I still would like to know the answer. I have 2 laptops, laptop 1 is and old pentium m running Ubuntu 12.04 (The last supported OS for it.) Laptop 2 is a much newer laptop running Kubuntu 12.10. I have a single ethernet connection where I am but no wireless router coming for another few weeks.

I have my desktop pc with a wired/ LAN connection to a Belkin wireless router. We also have a couple of laptops in the house which connect to the same router, but wirelessly. Is there anyway I can create a network for file transfer and desktop sharing between these computers whilst the desktop pc is connected via LAN cable? All machines are running Ubuntu 12.04.

I have such network layout: internet comes true fiber optics to modem. From modem LAN cable goes to router. Since that router wifi signal is weak LAN cable goes to another router from which I connect true wifi.

TL;DR - Modem > router > router with wifi > me.

Browser connects just fine.

SSH in local wireless network 3 years 31 weeks ago

Hello everybody.

I've been using ssh recently to access a schools supercomputer, and that made me wonder if I could somehow do the same between my home machines.

I figure that if I get my machines (2) into a wired network I can make them 'see' each other (and interact through ssh), in fact I used to control one PC from another using VNC.
