Wireless Router to Wired Router...

[tarcisio]

I have a DSL connection and the modem creates two networkds, a wired and a wireless. I have a wired computer and another onw accessing the wireless network. if both are wired I can ftp between them but I do not know how to configure the route so I can ftp between "wired" to "wireless". I have tried

sudo route add gw 192.168.254.254 which is the router of the wired network but I get "unknown host" although route -n tells me that the network 192.168.254.0 exists

Are they on the same subnet ?

How can I verify this (if both are on the same subnet)?

Here you are ifconfig output of the desktop (wired) and later dow at the wireless

Does is tell you something? My guess is that the answer is "no" to your question.

Solved: sudo ifconfig eth0 down - eth0 was not actual at the wireless connected computer. After putting it down I was able to use its wireless IP.

But, I have to do this everytime. Annoying!
