It sounds like you're nearly there and your commands look mostly correct. A few suggestions and example commands <snip>
Ok I tried the suggestions; I have setup the Windows machine on deb1 and chanel 6 that part is fine. Linux commands ifdown eth1 iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-Hoc essid "deb1" channel 6 ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 link established ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Just the last step to go! Thanks Bill _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
Bill, You do have an Access point, right? If you have an AP, you are setting up a wireless network in "managed" (or "infrastructure") mode. The output from iwconfig below says you are still in Ad-Hoc mode. try iwconfig eth1 mode managed to put your wireless interface into managed mode.

This would indicate that there is a problem at the link layer, such as ARPs not being responded to or something like that. Just to confirm your setup, you are connecting from a Laptop running Mandrake to a Windows PC? At this point it looks as if the problem with your configuration is with the Windows PC. The linux end certainly appears to be setup correctly. The only thing I notice is that the card in your laptop is an 802.11b/g card, is the card in the windows PC also 802.11b/g (i know b and g are meant to be compatible but it could be the source of your problems). Failing that the only other suggestion I can make is that you try a connection between two linux machines so that we can debug both ends of it.
