How to wirelessly connect to a PC?

ragdoll · 01-23-2008, 06:08 AM

I'm trying to connect my iLiad to my PC, using the wireless connection.
I configured the wireless connection in order to connect to ad-hoc networks, added a network named 'bu' and disabled WEP.
Then on the iLiad I run
wireless.sh start bu
But it doesn't find the net.
Why?

What do you want to do with the connection? If it's just transfering files back and forth I use the built-in iLiad feature. You have to configure your pc like this:

And after that it should be pressing the big connection button on your iliad, selecting computer and then the iliad does the rest

I also need to use ssh shell access via the unbrickable package.
However, the procedure you described does not work. Network is detected but the iLiad can't connect.
Have I to setup something about DHCP? How does the iLiad get an IP?

you need to enable DHCP so it automatically recieves an IP adres. I don't think the iLiad can work with a fixed IP. I've got WPA set up and WEP disabled and have no problems connecting.

Do you mean I have to enable DHCP on my PC or on the iLiad?
On the PC I already did this:
Wifi connection -> Properties -> TCP/IP Properties -> DHCP enabled in IP settings
Do I have to set something else?
On the iLiad I did what was written on iRex's PDF.

I meant you need to enable DHCP on your wireless router. Normally that's set default.

But I meant I want to connect the iLiad DIRECTLY to my PC, without a router.
I'm trying to use an ad-hoc connection.

Ow sorry, then I misunderstood from the beginning. I just tried it but it doesn't work with me either (and it does work with wifi). I'm not familiar with connection my iLiad that way so I can't help you. I know it's possible -Thomas- did it:
