Connection between 2 palmtops

[sykstyrius]

Hi all.
I am developing a simple game for pocket pc platform.
Ony of my use case is:
Two players can have a duel if they are in wi fi connection range.
It means that I have to scan environment and establish a connection
from a source level.
Does anyone know what kinf of tools/technology should I use?
Or maybe has anyone had similar problem?

Please help.

I think it'd be a lot easier to do this with bluetooth than with an 802.11n
type network.

30 feet. thats in the same room(ish) and with automtic discovery.

The discovery for a peer to peer network is a wee bit more complex. It's
been a few years since I messed about with palmtops and network discovery so
I'll have to search through to see if the code I wrote still exists.
