Network connection between two laptops communication problem?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1689 / 1 Year ago, wed, february 8, 2023, 8:41:31

I have two laptops (both wifi enabled) and a wireless router. I want to use one of the laptop on a robot and other laptop to SSH into the first one. Is it possible to connect the two PCs even if I don't have a modem or internet and just use the wifi router? If so how to do that? I learned about the ad-hoc network, but I am unable to create an ad-hoc network on my macbook pro 6'2 with ubuntu 11.10, so i need an alternate method.

I haven't tried this before, but here's what you can do -

First install an ssh server on the laptop you whish to ssh to.

For ubuntu type this in the terminal -

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

And for the other laptop -

sudo apt-get install openssh-client

Type ifconfig on your server laptop to find out its ip address.

You can then connect to you server -

ssh (server IP)

You can add static IPs to both of your laptops so that their addresses don't change!...

Hope this helps.
