I have been unable to get the pair of computers to talk at all in Ad- hoc mode. Windows only supports peer-to-peer mode which I am assuming is the same.

After an indeterminate period of time, the fbsd box just quits communicating. -Chris > -s > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
