Have you set your windows client to ad hoc mode?  Does it get a DHCP
lease?

Is your client 802.11a, .11b, or .11g?

BTW, what you are attempting is not a supported configuration of
a C-U wireless node.  I don't expect for it to work, in general.
The configuration we support has an access point plugged into the
ethernet port.  Members in Urbana have had great success connecting
clients this way.
