u could either use IP addressing for both the systems or u could set one laptop as a server; in the sense that u could go to my network places on one system, then u click set up a wireless network and follow the wizard till the network is created. then u can turn on the wireless adapter of the other laptop, so u can connect to the new network u just created. |
