Will you explain this in your article.
I have switched my connection to 802.11b ad hoc on both devices, put them on the same channel, changed my connection to a work connection. I cannot sync.
If you are using WinXP on your laptop, use the bridging feature between your wired and wireless connection. Then add a local ad-hoc connection profile to your available connections for your wireless card. You may have to explicitly disconnect from your access point and connect to the peer to peer connection instead.
