Cant Network

[Pegasus]

Im a novice to networking, and an even bigger novice to wifi, But im
attempting to connect two pc's together for print and file sharing (no
internet connection), however I cant get it working... My PC specs are
as follows:-

PC ONE
Windows XP Service Pack 2
EDUP IEEE802.11b/g Wireless LAN PCI Network Adapter

PC TWO
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Addon Add-GWP110 Wireless LAN PCI Network Adapter

My problem is, I run the wifi connection wizard on pc1, copy the info
to a USB Flash, put the USB flash into pc2, get the on screen saying its
successfully setup etc, put the usb back into pc1, click next, wizard
finishes but then both of them dont connect, both pop up at the bottom
left that they are not connected, if I go into search for wifi none can
be found on both pc's, and if i try to run the home/office network
wizard it wont continue because the wifi isnt connected. The machines
are only around 5metres away from each other (just in two seperate
rooms).

Has anyone got any idea why there not working? Perhaps a Lan card is
faulty? how can i test if there faulty in this case?

Please help,

Kind Regards
Scott

Are they both set in ad hock mode?If so you need to try the pc's next to
each other to eliminate the possibility of house construction blockage.
