No wifi Internet

[abhimohpra]

I am trying to establish a connection between PC and Laptop with Ad-Hoc mode.
I have Laptop Dell vostro 3400 (Ubuntu 9.10) and Broadcom card 4727 and other PC is having D-Link adapter with XP Operating system.
I could establish a connection named as ssid: trial between two machines. It is showing connectivity but when i tried to access internet it is not showing anything.

My config:
Windows:
IP: 192.168.1.40
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Internet is shared and No firewall is active.

Linux:
same ssid
IP: 192.168.1.32
same subnet

my ifconfig result is:

Also when i tried to ping it shows:
Destination host unreachable (from 192.168.1.36 to .40)

I tried to apply suggestions mentioned in the various blogs but not able to succeed.
Any help is appreciated.

I still could not resolve this. Any updates or tips?

I take it the internet connection is on the Windows machine? If so, then you need to activate its routing capabilities. It's been years since I did that, so I don't remember any more how to do it, but you can easily enough. I stopped using Windows about 5 years ago...

[abhimohpra]

I did that now..still it is not working..giving same results.
any solution? am i missing something?

What is the output of the 'route' command on Linux?

[abhimohpra]

As posted above in my first reply
output of route is as below:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

This is your problem. You need to set the default gateway to the Windows machine that has the internet connection. The address 192.168.1.1 is a router gateway, and you don't have one in this scheme. However, that is for eth0, but your network port is eth1 (see output from ifconfig), so you need to change your route settings.

Thanks for your responses. I really appreciate your help.

earlier i had set gateway which i removed later. but now i have set it again at Windows side. 192.168.1.1.
What am i suppose to do to change the route settings for eth1? Should i set same gateway to my connection (trial) from Network manager? or anything else?
