adhoc network trouble

Hi!

I've got a little problem, maybe some of you could help.

I want to connect 2 computers via wlan using ad hoc mode. Everything
seems to go ok till I try pinging one or another.100% of packets is
always lost.
there's the same ssid, cards seem to comunicate - quality of link is
great and so on.

Maybe I do something wrong I don't know. Please help if u can.

And now technical info:

Pc:
d-link DWL-510
windows xp prof. SP2 firewall is DISABLED
ssid: 1234
no WEP, open authentication
ip: 192.168.0.1
mask 255.255.255.0
DNS: 194.204.159.1
workgroup : home

Notebok:
d-link DWL-610 pcmcia
windows xp home SP2 firewall is DISABLED
ssid: 1234
no WEP, open authentication
ip : 192.168.0.10

worgroup: home

Both cards are working when attached to infrastructure network with
linksys wless router.

Ad-Hoc and the Windows O/S is a hit or miss situation. In addition, it can
be working and then it goes to left field at the drop of a hat from the
posts I have read concerning this.
