Can't establish a connection to adhoc network and p2p programs

This issue is regarding with p2p connectivity

It seems that i cannot establish a connection in an adhoc infrastructure, i
cannot ping any computer in the adhoc network. I used to play LAN games such
as CS and i cannot connect to it.. But i can use my wireless device to browse
the internet if i connect it to an access point.

I also have another issue regarding it, i cannot connect to any p2p
application such as limewire, kazaa , etc. Why does this happen? Is i because
windows blocked p2p connection or is it because hardware or software error. I
tried to reinstall the driver also the software utilities of the wireless
device, but it doesn't work either.

Can somebody help me please! Thx

 

Hi
There is No Ad-Hoc Infrastrucre Network.
It is either Ad-HOC or Infrastructure. The typical Wireless connection is
infrastructure. If you would like an Ad-Hoc connection between two computers
both has to be configured to AD-Hoc independent form the regular Wireless
Network.
As for p2p, log to the p2p application's site and look for instructions
concerning port opening through Windows Firewall.

Hi jack
Im sorry , i meant i cant connect to a adhoc network not to an
infrastructure, i already set my IP manually in the same subnet group so that
my pc can be recognized by others but still i can't ping to the other
computer in the adhoc network. Is it because windows blocked my connection to
an adhoc network.

For the P2P program , although i had turn of windows firewall i still cannot
connect to the limewire network. Does an update in my windows block the
connection to both P2P connection?

Thx

 

Hi
Windows does not block Ad-Hoc connection. If the Firewall is Off, p2p or
other Internet related are Not blocked.
Unfortunately in order`to further help you need to describe better your
system, the Internet connection and how it is configured.

Hi
I already fix the problem with the adhoc network, yesterday i fix it using
the winsockxpfix patch, but is it normal if an adhoc connection is not stable
because there is only 2 computer connected to it?

For the limewire problem i still can't fix it, i use zone alarm firewall ,
Wndows XP SP2 and i have an aztech DSL600EU modem router connected to a
linksys wireless router wrt54g. My modem IP is 10.0.0.2 and my wireless
router IP is 192.168.0.1.
Thx
