      Hello,

      I need to connect through SSH from one laptop (wireless) to another laptop (also wireless). This fails however. I can connect however from the laptops to another server which is on my LAN and vice versa. But 'inter-wireless' connections do not seem to work.

      Any idea how to fix this?

      Best regards,
      Jan

        I am not expert , but I think enabling Allow intra-BSS communication in wireless interface options should do the trick.
        Just go to Interfaces -> wireless interface name (for example ath0) and make sure Allow intra-BSS communication is checked.

        Current network "hardware" :
        Running 2.2RC in Virtualbox 4.2.16.

        Retired:
        ALIX2C2 , 4 gigabyte disk cf card running 2.0 (official release).
