Touchpad

Has anyone been able to connect to an adhoc? I have a Windows box running NAT32 and an adhoc access point. I had some difficulty configuring WEP security through iwconfig but finally got it to configure. Still, no DHCP lease. So, I disabled WEP security on the Windows box and left the AP open. I configure the eth0 interface like this:

iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc essid "ssid name"

checking iwconfig eth0, all of the parameters are there. I try for a dhclient eth0 and still no go. I don't even see any DHCP attempts on the Windows NAT32 console. MSG
